The mission of Brightwater Tools is to promote circular economies
by providing technologies that facilitate onsite wastewater nutrient recovery.
Linear Sanitation: In many places, the nitrogen and phosphorus we excrete pass through wastewater treatment plants without being removed or recovered. This effectively transforms our sewers into conduits for nutrient pollution.

Linear Sanitation
Circular Solution
Circular Sanitation: Collecting and treating wastewater onsite allows buildings and homes to close the human-food nutrient cycle—with nutrients being recovered in the form of sustainable fertilizers, and treated water being reused for non-potable purposes (e.g., toilet flushing).
