About
Cycleau is a compact greywater treatment system designed for retrofit under sinks in primarily low-income regions with ageing water infrastructure. This innovative solution addresses the growing concerns of public health risks and environmental impact by both treating tap water contaminants and recycling greywater to potable standards. By decentralising water treatment, distribution, and reuse processes, Cycleau enhances the resilience of water systems against climate change and human-induced shocks. This system not only reduces individual water footprint through direct reuse but also, when adopted community-wide, significantly conserves water resources.
