The spill of 1L of oil might contaminate up to 0.5 million gallons of water. Although most consumers do not have the information, producing 1 metallic can for the beverage industry contaminates 50mL of water on average during the washing process for every produced can. The problem is that 370+ billion cans were produced worldwide last year, resulting in more than 4 billion gallons of contaminated water. This market generated a revenue of R$ 18 billion only for the last year and has a growth forecast of 25% each year for the next 3 years. However, they still use non-sustainable methods to treat the contaminated water, which gives opportunities for our solution.
