FT Rethink
New methods of recycling wastewater are evolving, but face unique challenges
As the need to conserve water grows, San Francisco is emerging as a world leader in onsite water recycling, where large buildings must reuse their own wastewater for non-drinkable use. Ideally, the goal is to go from toilet to tap, and the trend of turning sewage into drinking water is gathering momentum. But cost is an issue, and can consumers overcome the “yuck” factor?
As the world changes at lightning speed, the FT Rethink series explores how to navigate transformative shifts shaping the future, from geopolitics and climate to industry, energy and health. The channel alternates between independent reporting from FT journalists and business perspectives from Lombard Odier.
