Swedish SustainTech Company Wayout and EP Kamat Group Introduce Eco-friendly Technology to Bring Down the Carbon Footprint

Water is at the core of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, energy and food production, healthy ecosystems and for human survival itself. Water is also at the heart of adaptation to climate change, serving as the crucial link between society and the environment. 

Swedish SustainTech company Wayout offers sustainable modern solutions for local production and distribution of safe drinking water. Wayout’s solar-powered microfactories treat water from any source, including sea water. The treated water is remineralised and distributed in refillable stainless-steel vessels and dispensed through smart taps. Wayout’s system is digitally connected where data is used to communicate info about the water and to optimize the circular distribution.

The quality of drinking water in India has a major impact on public health and today it is mainly the Indian authorities that are responsible for monitoring the water quality in the country. The partnership agreement between EP Kamat Group and Wayout includes a pioneering world-class solution that can locally produce and distribute drinking and cooking water with minimal eco-footprint, anywhere on earth. This innovative water purification and dispensation system are touted to reduce the use of plastic bottles and therefore carbon footprint. A single microfactory produces up to 9000 liters of mineral water every day – enough to provide 3000 persons with their daily drinking water – while at the same time preventing up to 6.5 million plastic bottles and 700 tons of CO2 from entering the ecosystem yearly.

 "We are very proud to collaborate with EP Kamat Group and to take part in their work to 'clean up' India of plastic waste and give people access to clean drinking water. A single Wayout system provides about 3,000 people with clean and safe drinking water, without by-products, per day, while preventing up to 483 tonnes of greenhouse gases and 5.7 million single-use plastic bottles from entering ecosystems each year. Our systems will be able to supply up to 135,000 people in Goa with clean water", says Ulf Stenerhag, CEO of Wayout.

By installing Wayout’s digitized eco-friendly water systems, including its Smart Pods and Kegs, consumers will transform the area’s water supply and provide a more ecofriendly, smart and healthier offering for residents in Goa that pioneers in systainable urban development.

EP Kamat Group is one of India's leading companies in sanitation and sewage recycling and the elimination of disposable plastic bottles is a step forward in their vision of a clean, green and safe planet.

"We are happy to partner with Wayout in this world class solution that does away with millions of single-use plastic bottles. Thereby reducing thousands of tons of greenhouse gases while providing safe drinking water through specially designed Microfactories." He further added, "In Goa, I do believe, it will have tremendous applications in Touristic places, Industrial Estates as well as in Education and other institutions", said Rajkumar Kamat, Managing Director, EP Kamat Group

The contract between EP Kamat Group and Wayout is worth EUR 39 million and the first micro factories will be deployed to Goa in 2023.
