• Working for one reason causes waste • Acting in isolation causes waste • Thinking in isolation causes waste

Reality is, there is no waste, only wastefulness

Our “One Reason” Rule… • This solution can be attached to any high

strength wastewater • This solution harvests all resources • This solution produces protein • This solution produces sugars from biomass • This solution produces reusable water • This solution has NO emmissions!

No wastefulness = no waste!

“A single solution in isolation is linear; we

cannot respond to dynamic challenges with linear

solutions.”
