Loowatt has developed a unique waterless toilet and waste-to-value processing system that allows service providers to readily adopt off-grid sanitation infrastructure and link it to value-generating systems. In a world where only 30% of people have access to sewers, Loowatt’s system meets the urgent needs of densely populated areas – from crowded events to rapidly growing cities. Loowatt is scaling up urban services in Madagascar and South Africa.

Notable Achievements

  • Over 60,000 people serviced in 2024 with services in African cities
  • Madagascar enterprise reaching >8,500 home users and on track to EBITDA+ in 2025
  • Growing Kaloola, South Africa's first user-paid home sanitation servive in South Africa
