The Sanitation Crisis is Now

Shifting Realities
Across rural and suburban communities, outdated septic systems are under growing scrutiny. Rising maintenance costs, tightening environmental standards, and water pollution concerns are driving demand for alternatives. In regions with nitrogen-sensitive watersheds and stricter discharge limits, conventional solutions can no longer keep pace with the need for safe, sustainable sanitation.
Homeowners and communities now face the challenge of securing systems that not only meet regulatory standards, but also reduce environmental impact, minimize waste, and enable water reuse — all without access to sewer infrastructure.
Reimagining Sanitation
OLO delivers safe sanitation anywhere — by turning wastewater into clean, reusable water for irrigation and converting sludge into just a handful of pathogen-free ash. No sewers. No pit emptying. No chemicals. No harmful discharges to the environment.
