Facing the challenge
WHY RECYCLE
Facing the world's biggest challenge
Every day, more and more people experience water stress. Humanity is facing a water crisis like never before, due to unequal distribution, climate change, and a sharp rise in global freshwater demand. And in a few years’ time, there simply won’t be enough water available for all of us.
Seen from space, our planet is blue: 70% of its surface is water. But 97% of all that water is saline – and most of the remaining 3% is difficult to access. Only 0.014% of the total amount of water on earth is fresh and available. That’s all we have. People, animals, and nature all depend on this water for survival.
The only way our planet can renew freshwater is through rainfall on land. But the amount of rainfall is far less than the amount of water people withdraw from earth. After decades of intensive urbanization, deforestation, water diversion and industrial farming, our planet is drying out and groundwater levels are dropping.

THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL
Every house and building can recycle its own water
All around the world, water is considered to be a cheap resource and people think wastewater is disposable.
This has to change right now. We must prevent our most valuable resource from being lost and start to implement circular water management solutions today.
Decentral water recycling is easy, efficient, and affordable. Every new building needs to be equipped with a decentralized water recycling system. By recycling at the source, we can solve the worldwide water crisis.

Hydraloop’s goals: Empowering humanity for a resilient water future
Hydraloop is proud to contribute towards four of the United Nations Global Goals.
The Global Goals are a blueprint for the world to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face today, including poverty, inequality, wars, and climate change. All 17 Goals are interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030.
We no longer have a choice.
We must manage water more wisely
Our vision: Building Recycle Ready. In 10 years’ time
every new building will have its own greywater recycling system
