19: Has Europe a water problem? Interview with Hydraloop Co-Founder and CMO, Sabine Stuiver
Apr 24, 2023 Season 1 Episode 19
Friederike von Waldenfels

In today's episode, I am speaking with Sabine Stuiver, co-founder and CMO of Hydraloop.  Their mission is to empower people and organizations to save water and energy whilst retaining the comfort of living. Their product is a circular water system for family and multi-family homes. So you can use the shower water to flush your toilet or to water your garden and save up to 45% of freshwater. 

Sabine is a water conservation expert and member of the Policy Advisory Committee at Water Europe in Brussels and was awarded the European Union's EU-TOP50 Award for a ‘Female Entrepreneur with a Sustainable Innovation’ in 2020. 

This episode is packed with facts and aha moments about water scarcity and our water usage in general. You will learn about why Europe is already facing a water crisis, why water will get more expensive, and why we currently do not recycle drinking water efficiently.
