Loowatt is a revolutionary waterless toilet system that creates local economies around waste treatment.
Our toilet system saves water and produces energy—the opposite of today’s toilet status quo. Quick to set up and simple to service and operate, the Loowatt system is a closed-loop human waste treatment solution. Having gained support from the InnovationRCA Incubator in 2010, we have built an impressive multidisciplinary network of collaborators, and won a Grand Challenges Explorations grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2011 to “create the next generation of sanitation technologies.” We are an interdisciplinary team of designers, engineers and businesspeople, committed to creating a paradigm shift in sanitation.
The system:
The toilet uses a unique sealing mechanism to package feces and urine into an odourless container, within a recyclable or compostable liner. The containers are collected and emptied into an anaerobic digester. The digester converts human waste into natural gas and fertilizer, commodities that pay back the community.
Loowatt system implementations are currently underway in Madagascar, Phillippines and the UK.
Benefits:
- Innovative design provides high-standard toilet experience
- Hygienic and odour-free
- Treats pathogens present in human waste, producing clean fertilizer
- Saves water with its patented waterless flush technology

Ichthion has developed award-winning technology that can remove greater volumes of plastic from the world’s rivers and oceans than all existing technologies.
The Problem
Humans have produced approximately 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic to date, though only 9% of this has been recycled. Through this voracious appetite for plastic and the resulting uncontrolled waste stream, an estimated 150 million tonnes of plastic has contaminated ocean ecosystems, with a further 12 million tonnes entering the marine environment per year.
The Solution
Ichthion, a multi-award winning company born out of the laboratories of Imperial College London, seeks to overcome the limitations of existing technologies by delivering the first truly scalable solutions to reduce the flow of plastics into the world’s oceans, proposing energy-generative systems that uniquely can installed in rivers, coastal areas and the oceans

At Powervault, we are on a mission to pioneer a sustainable energy future. We provide the most intelligent, economic and sustainable energy storage systems for homes and businesses. Our products store solar energy and affordable electricity from the grid, helping save you money while you help protect the environment. We design and manufacture Powervault here in the UK.
In its initial market application the product stores ‘free’ electricity generated by solar panels during the day, then releases the stored energy during the evening when household demand peaks, delivering a 50% reduction on electricity bills. The initial addressable UK market of 1m solar PV owners is about to expand rapidly as regulation drives the roll out of smart meters enabling ‘smart tariffs’. This will allow any of the 26m UK homes to benefit from storing electricity when it is cheap to use at expensive ‘peak’ times.
