Green Water: Conserving Equals Commerce

Green water does not exist but the concept does. So let me clarify for education sake. Used water is divided into two categories:

• black water
• sewage from toilets


• produced by garbage grinders
• grey water


• produced by washing clothes and utensils

Instead of simply finding other business who currently realizes advantages of being a Green Entrpreneur, I thought it would be interesting to obtain the point of view of someone looking to invest in an innovative business venture.

The increasing interest in grey water recycling systems offers an excellent opportunity for budding green entrepreneurs to start their own

  

Interested entrepreneurs would have the opportunity to develop their business with input from architects, interior designers, engineers and other professionals in the field of home design - so if there is a concern for lack of knowledge there are educational opportunities.

Let me give you some statistics on why I believe there is gross potential. The recent drought we are experiencing should be a wake-up call that we need to conserve water and try to reuse as much as we can.

Globally, 7 billion people need water – 97 percent of which is salty and 2 percent is locked in ice. Of the rest, two-thirds is used to grow food.The United States and Texas in particular, need to find water for a growing population. Unusually high temperatures and dry weather recently have highlighted the urgency. Therefore, there is obviously demand.

Brac Systems is a vertically integrated company specializing in a grey water treatment and recycling technologies. The Canada based company claims that it is possible to reduce water consumption by 35 to 40% with its systems. Founded in 2005, Brac Systems calls itself "a company built on the responsibility of every single individual who wants to see a real change in the environment." It sells its products across 30 countries. Brac Systems handles research and development of its products in-house and takes care of installation services through its network of dealers and distributors.

Some grey recycling companies include the following:

 NutriCycle Systems includes composting toilets, nutrient recycling systems, and grey water recycling systems in its portfolio. Besides product sales, they also offer installation and maintenance services in Maryland and Virginia. Their grey water recycling systems are adapted for installation in flowerbeds, lawns, woodlands, greenhouses, and wildflower meadows.

* I would think the avid gardener may take interest in this.

* Flotender systems include a grey water harvesting device and are coupled with a drip irrigation system. Flotender, also provides a system for rain water harvesting.



* Wonder what the sacrifice would be utilizing this equipment? Their customer base includes people who want to see change in the environment.


Definitely something different. Grey water can turn to green which would help conserve water and potentially hydrate the economy.

Flotender is a division of Filtrific. While Filtrific manufactured water features, Flotender supplies systems for recycling grey water. Flotender estimates that as much as 70% of a households waste water can be recycled.
