WRET: Water Recycling Eco Toilets
Off-grid toilets with a sustainable technology of treating and recycling wastewater during flushes
01.
Identification
By combining the know-how developed with international research centers to the French design expertise, WeCo is offering the first ecological, off-grid and design flush toilets, solving the customer pains of wasting clean water for flushing and having yet no reliable nor sustainable water flush off-grid toilet. The toilet flushes operate in a closed circuit, treating and recycling the wastewater on-site, and require no connection to an external water network. WeCo enables the ecological transition of urban sanitation systems, especially in emerging cities where the sanitation solutions linked with strong urbanization are major issues. WeCo toilets can be plugged everywhere to any kind of toilet's environment and enable the clients to move them from a place to another easily, depending on the various needs.
