Social Enterprise
This social business involves the treatment of greywater (wastewater from the kitchen, shower etc) for urban agricultural use in Jordan. Greywater is seen as a sustainable water resource that can contribute to conservation and sustainability of water resources. The primary recipients of the innovation treatment, ‘Drawer Compact Sand Filter’ (DCSF), will be refugee camps in Jordan. The business aims at providing a mean of revenue generation through fostering urban agricultural practices that will in turn contribute to food security and reduce the financial burden faced by households.
