Everybody in the Pool

E67: You would not believe how much water went into making your iPhone


Listen Later

Usually on the show we talk about carbon-emitting sectors, but today we’re talking about one of the planet’s most precious resources: water. Specifically, industrial water, which is used in staggering amounts, horribly contaminated, and sometimes just put right back into the environment. Anurag Bajpayee, CEO of Gradiant, discusses the company's technology-driven end-to-end water solutions and their goal to conserve water for future generations and give nature its water back. Gradiant's approach is practical, driven by the outcome of cleaning and recycling water, rather than a specific technology or innovation (although there are plenty of innovations), and their latest achievement is a process to concentrate and destroy PFAS—aka, forever chemicals.
