As water scarcity, pollution, and urban pressure continue to rise across India, institutions are being forced to rethink how they manage wastewater. Sewage treatment is no longer just a compliance requirement it has become a critical environmental responsibility. Ekam Eco’s sewage treatment plant (STP) solutions are designed with this reality in mind, offering an eco-friendly approach that helps institutions treat wastewater efficiently while protecting natural resources. One

Every morning in an Indian city begins the same way taps turn on, toilets flush, waste disappears out of sight, and life moves on. But what happens after that flush?In a country racing toward urbanization and Smart City Solutions , sanitation is no longer just about convenience. It’s about sustainability, dignity, public health, and our shared responsibility toward the planet. As India builds its cities of the future, sustainable sanitation  is becoming the backbone of truly

Introduction: A Problem No One Talks About Until It Becomes One     In educational institutions, conversations usually revolve around academics, infrastructure, student safety, and growth. Rarely does wastewater management make it to the priority list—until a notice arrives from authorities, costs spiral unexpectedly, or water shortages begin affecting daily operations. This was the reality for many schools, colleges, and training campuses  that approached us. They weren’t lo

Clean water doesn’t always require complex systems. With the right habits and basic methods, households can dramatically reduce water contamination risks and protect health. Water contamination has become a growing concern in cities like Gandhinagar and Bengaluru , driven by factors such as aging pipelines, groundwater depletion, sewage mixing, industrial discharge, and inconsistent water quality across sources. But here’s the good news: while large-scale infrastructure chang

Freshwater availability now shapes economic stability, public health, and environmental balance. Rapid urban growth, industrial demand, and climate variability place constant pressure on water systems across India and global markets. Corporations influence this equation more than ever before. Their infrastructure choices, sanitation practices, and operational policies directly affect water withdrawal and wastewater generation. Businesses once treated water as a fixed utility

Commercial buildings such as offices, hotels, malls, hospitals, and institutional campuses, face enormous sanitation demands every day. But water scarcity, rising utility costs, and heightened expectations for hygiene mean building managers can no longer rely on “business as usual.” Today’s sanitation innovations not only reduce water consumption , but also control odors , boost cleanliness , and cut maintenance costs . Let’s explore five standout solutions driving this trans

Indore has long been celebrated as India’s cleanest city , topping national cleanliness rankings year after year. But a recent sanitation-linked health crisis has exposed a troubling truth: surface-level cleanliness cannot compensate for failing sanitation infrastructure .  What happened in Indore is not just an isolated incident- it is a wake-up call for every Indian city.    The Incident: How Negligence Turned Deadly   In a shocking case of infrastructure failure and admini

Water is often called a basic human right in India. Open a tap in many cities and water flows at a cost so low that it barely registers as an expense. Yet, for millions of Indians, water is anything but cheap. The truth is unsettling: the price of water in India depends less on availability and more on geography, infrastructure, and systemic neglect. What looks free on paper often becomes one of the most expensive necessities in daily life.  In cities like Mumbai and Delhi, m

There is a strong need to have a pleasant interior ambiance in high traffic places like shopping malls, airports, schools, and corporate offices to ensure the satisfaction of visitors and brand image.   Nevertheless, it may be difficult to control the odors in the restrooms, food courts, and other common areas.   Conventional deodorizing techniques usually use a product that is based on chemicals which conceals smell which is harmful to the environment.   The increase focus

Water is one of the most mismanaged resources in modern infrastructure. While residential water usage often receives attention, commercial buildings quietly consume and waste far greater volumes every single day. Offices, malls, hotels, hospitals, airports, IT parks, and institutional facilities use potable water not only for drinking, but also for flushing, cleaning, landscaping, cooling, and maintenance. In a country like India - already facing groundwater depletion and s

Imagine traveling across India-through buzzing towns, crowded city streets, and endless highways. You’re thirsty, tired, and urgently need a restroom…but there isn’t a clean one in sight. We’ve all been there. In fact, for millions of Indians, the search for a clean public toilet is almost a daily struggle .  But something big is changing.  The Government of India has recently announced that 29,000 modern aspirational toilets will be built across 3,920 municipalities - a mov

The adoption of sustainable technologies in water saving, decreasing sewage load and green building compliance within the leading organizations in India. Water is among the most important and misused resources in the contemporary infrastructure. Since office complexes to hotels and airports- commercial buildings use thousands of liters of fresh water per day, and a large portion of it goes to waste, flushing, cleaning and maintenance. With sustainability and compliance with E

Sanitation is often discussed in terms of hygiene and health-but what if it could also be a force for positive environmental change? Step into the circular economy of sanitation a world where ‘waste’ isn’t wasted but transformed into valuable resources. A circular sanitation economy reimagines sanitation as a system that recovers and reuses the resources found in human waste and wastewater rather than treating them as waste to be disposed of. It integrates water, nutrients,

The fight against the lingering odors in washrooms is a long-standing battle between both the homeowners and the facility managers. The chemical air fresheners- toxic sprays that only cover a bigger issue and pollute the air with  Volatile Organic Compounds  (VOCs) have been the go-to solution for decades. Nevertheless, there is a major change that is being experienced, which is based on increased commitment to sustainability and health. A new washroom should not have a futur

India is becoming urban at an unprecedented rate, but as urbanization increases, so does the rate of wastewater production. In modern times, India generates over 72,000 million liters per day of wastewater on an average daily basis, and the average percentage of this wastewater treated is minimal. This loophole not only creates strain on our freshwater sources but also affects the health of people, the ecosystem, and sustainability. In order to fill this gap, contemporary was

The global Water Crisis is a silent yet rising challenge that the world is grappling with. Although the personal consumption and agriculture are seen as the main sources of this issue, an enormous and frequently neglected factor contributing to this issue is the giant, institutionalized loss of drinkable water in commercial, people, and industry structures. One of the worst culprits is conventional flushing systems which are used especially in urinals that flush millions of g

In today's sustainability driven world ESG ( Environment , Social , and Governance )reporting has become a vital benchmark for businessess, especially in the hospitaility and real estate . One area often overlooked in ESG strategies is sanitation , yet it plays a decisive role in achieving green buildings standards and long -term environmental impact. Green sanitation practices-such as waterless urinal , VOC free cleaners , eco-friendly products like water aerators, Flow me

Every winter, Delhi struggles with a thick blanket of smog. In 2025, the city turned to an ambitious and much publicized solution - cloud seeding , or what many call “artificial rain.”  A technique used across the world to trigger rainfall during droughts. With rising temperatures, depleting groundwater, and long dry spells, cloud seeding looked like a ray of hope.  But the plan failed. Why? And what does this mean for the future of rainmaking in Delhi?  More importantly—why

Maintaining kitchen hygiene now goes beyond just having spotless countertops and sanitized utensils; it involves the hidden areas of the drainage system. Common kitchen issues include clogged sinks, unpleasant odors, and grease buildup, but traditional chemical drain cleaners often exacerbate these problems. They emit harmful fumes, corrode pipelines, and contribute to water pollution. In contrast, enzyme-based drain cleaners are becoming a safer, eco-friendly, and highly eff

which, though effective, brought with them their own issues: bad indoor air quality, health hazard to the staff and being environmentally toxic.
