In wastewater, treatment plants are “on-grid”. Off-grid means unique on-site treatment for each business, residence, or community. Unfortunately, on-grid treatment plants are crumbling in the face of urbanization. For off-grid, septic tanks are common but are ineffective and can cost $100,000 to install!
This is a multi-billion dollar problem
across the US, but it is felt most severely in low-income communities. This problem will only get worse with climate change looming.
Off-grid water solutions are necessary for a future where no one has to worry about dirty water. Enter the NuTree - a novel on-site wastewater treatment device. It empowers everyday people to treat their own water by harnessing nature’s methods.
The NuTree is no harder to maintain than a fish tank or small garden, which makes the system easy to construct and affordable to maintain. Its modular units, at under $10,000 each, can scale to treat the waste from a single household to a growing business. With a circular, zero-waste system that includes water recycling, bioenergy, and growing crops the NuTree is a force of nature.
