What the Project Is

FGWRS allows you to recycle 80% of your grey water – yes, 80%! This innovative process, based on the cutting‐edge technology of FIRMUS France, guarantees recycled grey water often exceeding this figure. The project is built on the powerful idea that preserving water resources is crucial for the future of our planet… and its significance cannot be overstated. Developed from solutions deployed in Monaco and built on the expertise of FIRMUS France from Clermont-l’Hérault (Occitanie), FGWRS has been commercializing “Grey Water Recycling Stations” since 2017. Essentially, grey water – coming from showers, sinks, washing machines, hammams, and swimming pools – is transformed from waste into a valuable resource.

Main Benefits

The benefits of adopting the FGWRS system are impressive and speak for themselves:

  • Recycling 80% of grey water – often more than that in practice.
  • Preservation of precious drinking water resources.
  • Utilization of state-of-the-art FIRMUS France technology.
  • Support for sustainable development in collective environments.
  • Significant water savings, with over 7 million liters already preserved.

Grey Water Recycling Technology

Developed with a focus on efficiency, the FGWRS system uses proven technology from FIRMUS France – a name that inspires confidence in the field of grey water recycling. The solution has been carefully designed to guarantee quality standards through rigorous monitoring of all operations. There is a commitment to safety, flexibility, and genuine innovation. All this is achieved while ensuring that the technology meets strict conditions for usage, transforming everyday grey water into a sustainable asset for various applications.

Commitment to Drinking Water Preservation

By focusing on the preservation of drinking water, FGWRS addresses a challenge that is becoming increasingly urgent. It is estimated that by 2030, one quarter of the global population will face drinking water shortages. In a context of a global water crisis, preserving every precious drop is vital. FGWRS, together with the expertise of FIRMUS France, is contributing to changing the global outlook on water usage… empowering drinking water users both individually and collectively. The approach is a call to action, reminding everyone that every drop counts.

Diverse Applications of the System

The FGWRS technology is not limited to a single environment. Its systems have been successfully deployed in a range of settings including laundries, collective housing, hotels, outdoor accommodations, campsites, public swimming pools, water parks, and sports centers. This diversity demonstrates the system’s flexibility and ability to contribute meaningfully to water saving efforts in different communities. Natural language aside, the fact remains clear: recycling grey water through such solutions has a transformative impact across various sectors.

Project Impact

  • SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation – ensuring better water quality for communities.
  • SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – through saving energy and promoting energy independence.
  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – leveraging cutting-edge technology for sustainable development.
  • SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – optimizing resource use in urban planning and public facilities.
  • SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – driving innovative recycling and resource preservation processes.

Future Perspectives and Wider Vision

Looking ahead, the FGWRS project is poised to play an even greater role in preserving global water resources. The initiative is a rallying cry for comprehensive water conservation, advocating that a global awareness can offer the potential to recycle 50% of daily drinking water consumption. With home FGWRS stations currently under development for domestic use, the technology could soon become a household name. Embracing this solution not only aligns with environmental priorities but also heralds a shift toward smarter and more sustainable water usage everywhere. The commitment to saving drinking water, ensuring energy independence, and fostering innovation provides a beacon of hope for communities facing water scarcity. And while each individual’s motivation to engage with the process may vary, the collective impact is undeniable – the FGWRS project has already saved more than 7 million liters of drinking water and continues to inspire future advancements.
