From
France
Maturity stage
TRL 9 / CRI 2 - Commercial Trial Small Scale
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.
The Environmental Benefits
- •WeCo is using 36 times less water than other toilets
- •6,000L instead of 219,000L per year with all the comfort and security of wired toilets (for 100 daily flushes for 1 year)
- •The bacteria in the effluents are 99.99% removed within 2 hours, producing a drinkable water quality and ensuring that the water is bacteria and virus free, which is now essential with the pandemic risk
- •WRET Toilets are producing 10,950L of clean water (and 0L of wastewater) per year
The Financial Benefits
- •2 to 5 times cheaper than regular public toilets as they do not need to be connected to the water network, with an average cost of 270K€/km of sewerage
- •WeCo wastewater treating, reducing and recycling technology, designed for a long-term autonomy (minimum of 3 months), do not need to be often emptied like chemical/dry/train toilets require (up to 27K€/y)
