The First Off-grid Water Recycling Eco Toilets, treating and recycling the wastewater from the toilets, into flushes.
About
The technology used by WeCo allows the transformation of the wastewater coming from the toilets, into treated water for flushing. The toilet flush is integrated in a closed water circuit and does not need connection to the sewerage.
WeCo toilets even produce a surplus of clean water, which could, for example, be used for watering the surrounding area. They also produced bio-treated sludge that can be reused for agriculture in a circular economy spirit.
The local treatment and recycling enable WeCo toilets to be off-grid and therefore mobile from a place to another.
This innovative patented and internationally awarded technology is specifically adapted for emerging cities where there is no water, no sewerage, no sanitation plant and a strong growing urbanization leading to social, health and environmental problems. Our aim is to have a large positive environmental and social impact, by scaling with and industrial and international approach.
