What EcoIslands LLC Is All About
EcoIslands LLC is a biological water treatment specialist that’s all about harnessing nature’s own power to clean water. Their team dives deep into nature’s biological water remediation methods, creating solutions that save customers time, money, and space. They focus on building and researching self-organizing wetland bioreactors (SOWBs) tailored for mining, municipal, and aerospace sectors. These systems tap into the natural cycles of manganese oxides, rare earths, and human waste, especially within biological life support systems. It’s a smart, nature-inspired approach to water treatment that’s both efficient and sustainable.
The Main Benefit: Saving Big with Nature
EcoIslands LLC’s approach isn’t just innovative—it’s cost-effective. Their concentrated wetland technology offers a low-maintenance, ultra-efficient system that lasts for decades. Here’s a quick snapshot of what they bring to the table:
- Billions of dollars spent annually on industrial and agricultural water remediation systems
- Potential savings of millions of dollars over the lifespan of each system
- Systems designed to be low maintenance and ultra-efficient
- Space-saving solutions that fit into tight operational footprints
- Applications across diverse sectors including mining, municipal authorities, and aerospace
Who Benefits from EcoIslands’ Expertise?
Their customers span a wide range of industries and organizations.

This diverse customer base highlights the versatility and effectiveness of their biological water treatment systems.
Innovative Technology at the Core
At the heart of EcoIslands LLC’s work are self-organizing wetland bioreactors—SOWBs. These systems mimic natural wetlands but are engineered to optimize biological processes for water remediation. They focus on cycling key elements like manganese oxides and rare earths, which are critical in various industrial and environmental contexts. Plus, their work with human waste cycling in biological life support systems shows a commitment to closing the loop on waste and resource management.
Leadership Driving Sustainable Solutions
Colin Lennox, the CEO and Bioremediation Specialist, leads the charge with a clear vision. He points out that while billions are spent annually on water remediation, EcoIslands’ approach simplifies things by leveraging nature’s biological power. Their systems are designed to be durable and cost-saving, potentially saving customers millions over time. It’s a leadership style that blends deep scientific knowledge with practical, real-world applications.
