AECOM and Organica Ecotechnologies, the developer of an innovative ecological wastewater treatment technology, have entered into a partnership.
The cooperation between the companies will focus on three geographic areas: North America, United Kingdom, and Southeast Asia and is aimed toward introducing this new treatment technology in these regions.
Organica Ecotechnologies integrates reactor-based adaptive ecosystems and traditional engineering solutions to create highly efficient wastewater treatment systems in a characteristically botanical garden look and feel, enclosed in a greenhouse. The technology opens new opportunities in urban design and architectural solutions. AECOM said that the new technology meant that engineered, complex ecosystems couyd be more easily integrated into the urban landscape while offering a high level of treatment in line with sustainable design principles.
Steven Guttenplan, P.E., chief technology officer with the Water business line of AECOM, commented:
"AECOM is pleased to partner with Organica and provide our clients with an opportunity to consider this innovative, effective, and sustainable approach to wastewater treatment."
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
