Wavin invests in Aquacycl high strength wastewater treatment technology
(UI) — Orbia's building and infrastructure business Wavin, a water technology leader, has awarded $50,000 in non-dilutive capital to Aquacycl, an energy-neutral wastewater treatment technology company.
Aquacycl founder Orianna Bretschger won The Boiling Point Challenge, a pitch competition co-hosted by Orbia's Wavin business and Imagine H2O, that was part of Orbia's sustainability strategy at the United Nations (UN) 2023 Water Conference and New York Water Week in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water & Sanitation.
Aquacycl offers a unique technology to rapidly treat high-strength wastewater, eliminate primary sludge, and recover energy as direct electricity without producing any methane.
"We're pleased to invest in new water technologies for North America that help solve the need for clean and safe water while moving the needle on meeting UN water goals," Courtney Fretz Obregon, vice president and general manager of Wavin North America, said. "Aquacycl is an exemplar of Water Solutions for Climate, Environment and Resilience, one of the UN Water Conference's thematic areas. It has the winning combination of breakthrough innovation, a sustainable business model and strong market adoption. Congratulations to the Aquacycl team."
