Epic Cleantec, a San Francisco, CA-based innovator in water reuse technology for the built environment, raised $12M in Series B funding.
The round was led by the family office of Drs. Kathy Fields and Garry Rayant.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the expansion of its water reuse and resource recovery solutions across a portfolio of projects.
Led by CEO Aaron Tartakovsky, Epic Cleantec is a water reuse technology company that deploys onsite water treatment and reuse systems into individual buildings, groups of buildings, and at the community scale, converting wastewater into treated water for non-potable uses, organic soil amendments, and recovered heat energy. Born out of initial work with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s “Reinvent the Toilet Challenge,” Epic is now used by players in real estate across North America.
Epic partners on some of the most prominent water reuse projects throughout the U.S., including:
- The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, where Epic’s OneWater™ system recycles greywater for irrigation, enhancing the hotel’s lush landscaping.
- Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, where Epic operates the largest onsite blackwater system in a commercial building in the U.S., saving up to 7.8 million gallons of water per year.
- Related California’s Fifteen Fifty building in San Francisco, where Epic operates the first approved and operational greywater system in the city.
- Kuilei Place in Honolulu, a planned 43-story residential project, where Epic will deliver Honolulu’s first onsite greywater reuse system.
- The Campus at Horton in San Diego, an adaptive reuse project transforming an abandoned mall into a lively community complex with a blackwater system projected to recycle 7.5 million gallons annually.
The company has offices in San Diego, Austin, Las Vegas, and Scottsdale.
