It uses a unique piping scheme that’s highly adaptable and incorporates shallow depths of installations, small pipe diameters and optimum case-by-case design. The relatively affordable cost of the system and its versatility means that this system could be implemented in areas where conventional systems cannot be implemented. For example areas that lack the necessary space of installation and informal/unplanned areas. The system also adopts a communal participatory approach, meaning that the community is one of the key participants in the design, implementation, and operation and maintenance phases...

Chemical recycling of cellulosic textile waste

Re:newcell has developed a solution to enable recycling of cotton and viscose fibers used in apparel. The solution works by collection of used garments, which is transformed to a biodegradable pulp to be used as feedstock for production of clothes. Utilizing usable material that would otherwise end up on landfills allows the apparel industry to save several thousand liters of water per kilo apparel and prevents chemicals and dyes from entering local biological systems, all while reducing the carbon footprint of the industry.
