Cleaner Construction: Eliminating Liquid Waste Pollution

Leading Cities Season 4 Episode 5

Picture this: Plaster, paint, and grout oozing down embankments, forming toxic sludge that drips into waterways, contaminating the water and seeping into the bodies of fish and other wildlife. It sounds like a horror scene, but believe it or not, this is a daily reality at countless construction sites around the world. Did you know that every year, an estimated 60 billion liters of polluted water, filled with chemicals and microplastics, is discharged from construction sites—affecting not just the environment but the food chain itself. In today's episode of Preview of Tomorrow, Mike Lake joins Andrew Crimston of Washbox Global to discuss Washbox's fully mobile tool cleaning system.
