Rewriting the rules

The Drytong is currently being developed by a team of French and South African passionate innovators who believe it’s time to shake up the water game, something that hasn’t changed much in 100years.

The idea was born in 2024 in South Africa.

« I was reading a kids’ book about water, written in the 80s, when I was stunned to learn that we can recycle water, and it’s the best way to preserve this precious resource. I thought it was amazing, but how can we teach kids about it if adults don’t even do it?

A few weeks later, I was on a 32h road trip to Botswana with a friend of mine, a great water engineer, to see his new water treatment system, taking very dirty water from an abattoir to potable quality so it can be reused inside.

This is how I got into the world of water and understood how everyone can recycle water to the purest level and become self-sufficient »
