Did you know the water we use today is the same water that existed when dinosaurs roamed the Earth? ???? Water is constantly recycled, whether through the natural water cycle or innovative water reuse technologies. But with climate change accelerating, some of our most critical freshwater sources are at risk. This #WorldWaterDay, we’re spotlighting glacier preservation as these frozen reservoirs are melting at an alarming rate. Protecting them means protecting our planet’s most precious resource. Let’s take action to safeguard our water for future generations! ?? United Nations #WorldWaterDay #Water #WaterReuse

If they weren’t engineers, what other careers would they have pursued? ????

Over the last few years, many of my friends in tech have asked me how to break into climate. They want work with real impact — something that feels meaningful and urgent — but worry they don’t have the “right” background. Here’s the thing: climate tech NEEDS outsiders. I wrote about this for Fast Company, diving into why this industry thrives on talent from all sectors and how you can make the leap. If you're thinking about it, give it a read—and reach out if you have questions! (NOTE — updated link in the comments below)

What a week in Austin! ???? From taking the SXSW stage to raising a glass of whiskey to sustainability, we made the most of our time in Texas: ?? Our Co-Founder & CEO, Aaron Tartakovsky, led an insightful panel at #SXSW alongside Newsha Ajami, Katherine Jashinski, and Samantha Flores, diving into the future of water reuse. ?? In true Texas spirit, we announced the limited-edition launch of a recycled-water whiskey. Showing that together, we can tackle the “yuck” factor, one sip at a time. ??? We hosted an intimate dinner with professionals across the industry to discuss the critical role of water reuse in drought-prone regions and how buildings can be a part of the solution. ?? And, of course, we spent quality time with our local team, aligning on goals for the future. A huge thanks to everyone who joined us last week! Until next time. ??

Happy World Recycling Day! ?? At Epic, we believe recycling goes beyond just plastic and paper; it includes water too.

This #WorldRecyclingDay, let’s remind ourselves that the “waste” in wastewater really isn’t waste at all.
