Customer benefits
Saves potable water
By producing safe, non-potable water from surface water, our systems significantly reduce the need for drinking water at events. This water can be safely used for toilet flushing, cleaning, and irrigation, helping organizers manage resources efficiently while protecting local drinking water supplies.
Prevents ammonium shock loads
Large events can generate sudden spikes in wastewater nutrients, like ammonium, which can overload regional treatment plants. By separating and processing urine and treating wastewater on-site, our solutions prevent these “shock loads,” protecting local infrastructure and the environment.
Produces sustainable fertilizers
Captured nutrients are transformed into high-quality fertilizers with a 60% lower CO₂ footprint compared to synthetic alternatives. This closes the nutrient loop and contributes to more sustainable agriculture, turning festival water streams into a tangible environmental benefit.
Reduces environmental impact and showcases scalable solutions
Our systems minimize the ecological footprint of large-scale events while providing a visible demonstration of circular water solutions. Festivals become living labs, proving that these approaches are scalable, practical, and ready to inspire other sectors — from sports venues to residential areas.
Demonstrates household water savings potential
The technologies we develop for events can also be applied in residential settings. For example, by reusing treated water streams, up to 25% of household water can be saved — reducing daily consumption from 130 to 100 liters per person. This shows that circular water solutions at events have wider societal benefits.
