Why clean water solutions?

Why clean water is important

Safe drinking water and good sanitary solutions are essential for a healthy and comfortable life. Unfortunately, there are still many people who don’t have access to these basic needs. In many areas, sewage systems are nowhere near sufficient. Too many people must go outdoors or even travel for hours each day for their water supply. To these people, having easy and affordable safe drinking water is life-changing and a chance for a better life.

Care for others

Being an international family business with a can-do attitude, it is in our DNA to care for others and always look for opportunities to have a positive impact on our society at large. That is why we work so hard on bringing smart clean water solutions to communities everywhere. With plug-and-play systems that are affordable and low maintenance. We offer communities job opportunities and a chance for a better life. Simply by providing affordable, indoor, safe drinking water.

Communities

Why clean water

Connecting communities

Dutch Clean Tech wants to bring people together by offering mutually beneficial opportunities.

In developing countries people need clean water, but often there is not enough money to invest. In the West there is more than enough money, and people are facing persistently low interest rates and rapidly increasing inflation.

Dutch Clean Tech connects these communities. Dutch private investors finance the installations supplied by Dutch Clean Tech to provide people in other parts of the world with clean water solutions.

Local content
We work with local contractors and builders to construct the water treatment plants, thus stimulating local economies. Moreover we employ local people for operation and maintenance. We offer them an education and a job with a fair salary.

Pioneer

Pioneering role on clean water

Clean water on the social agenda

Dutch Clean Tech offers the installations on the basis of ‘pay for use and not for ownership’. We supply compact and modular drinking water production facilities and sewage treatment plants. This way large groups of people have immediate access to basic needs.

Unlike donations and subsidy projects, our business model works. It works because all parties involved have a mutually beneficial interest.

Pioneering clean water solutions
Dutch Clean Tech wants to be a pioneer, putting clean water on the social agenda and inspiring other companies to follow.
