Swedish SustainTech company Wayout wants to rebuild civilization from the start with their revolutionizing micro factories

Instead of shipping glass and plastic bottles around the planet, Wayout has developed a solution where beverages are produced locally in plug-and-play micro-factories. This January, the first one was delivered to Nairobi. The next one is going to the Serengeti. Across the globe, clients are queueing up for delivery this year.

Clean Water
The most essential ingredient in all beverages is water. But unfortunately, most people on Earth need access to clean drinking water. Wayout's micro-factories treat all types of water – they even desalinate seawater. The treated water is remineralized to be included in all beverages or served as supreme quality drinking water, still or sparkling.

Soft Drinks
The various soft drinks are produced in the micro-factory by mixing mineral water with a wide range of extracts. In addition to functional beverages, the micro-factories can make sodas, tonics, and flavoured water. All beverages are locally produced and cooled before being served directly from the module.

Craft Beer
The micro-factories also contain complete breweries. The brewing process is simplified with the use of the extract. As usual, water, malt, hops, and yeast are the ingredients. Fermenting and storage are done classically. Then, a series of recipes are ready to order and can easily be brewed into premium craft beer in the fully automated brewery.

Sustainable
Through modern research and new technology, Wayout's micro-factories are engineered to have as little impact as possible on the environment. The fully automated system recycles water and energy internally and is developed to be powered by solar panels. When all beverage is locally produced from scratch, many harmful side effects are bypassed, like bottling, logistics, distribution, and plastic waste.

Plug-and-play The micro-factories are produced and assembled in Sweden and delivered to clients worldwide. The micro-factories are operated through a smartphone app. The ingredients are loaded manually; the rest is fully automated; water treatment, beverage mixing, brewing, and cleaning. The app allows the operator to easily select recipes, order ingredients, plan production, and follow the brewing process.

Start-up Wayout was founded in 2018 by an international group of engineers and business leaders with backgrounds in MedTech, FoodTech, IoT, telecom, payment services, and industrial design. Bernadotte&Kylberg and No Picnic design the modules. Wayout has filed for patents for a range of innovations within the concept. In 2019, private investors acquired 20 per cent of the company, which was evaluated at 9.4 million Euros.
