The Problem

France is running dry — while recycling almost nothing

Climate stress meets a recycling gap. The country discharges 40 billion m³ of treated wastewater a year and reuses less than one percent of it

Market Opportunity

A €500M market the state is forced to build

Plan Eau commits France to 1,000 water-reuse projects by 2027. With only 195 live, the gap must be filled at 200+ projects a year — eight reforms since 2023 keep widening the door

The July 2024 food-industry decree alone unlocked 17,000 facilities previously barred from using recycled water — the single largest segment to open in a decade
Our Solution

Plug-and-play recycling, in a shipping container

RENAUVEAU treats wastewater from farms, factories and treatment plants to Category A quality — ready to reuse for irrigation, industry and urban services, with no major reconstruction

RENAUVEAU modular container units

One platform, three scales

From a single farm to a municipal network — every unit ships pre-assembled and connects to existing infrastructure

The Technology

Graphene is the game-changer

A single layer of carbon atoms, 0.34 nm thick and 200× stronger than steel. Its precisely tuned pores capture what conventional membranes miss — and not one of France's 195 existing projects uses it

Removing what others leave behind

On the contaminants that matter most for reuse — PFAS, pharmaceuticals and pesticides — graphene filtration outperforms conventional membranes across the board
