🤔 Idea of the week:

Epic Cleantec is a water reuse startup providing mainly water treatment systems for customers.

Born out of initial work with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's "Reinvent the Toilet Challenge," Epic reduces the cost and complexity of onsite wastewater treatment and reuse, lowering costs for build costs and easing strain on municipal utilities, and strengthening sustainability and resiliency efforts.

And now, they joined forces with Devil's Canyon Brewing Company to create the one-of-a-kind project - Epic OneWater Brew.

Yes, you are reading right. Think about a beer from a reused water.
