629: Water - Disrupting a Trillion Dollar Market, Feat. Riggs Eckelberry | Freestyle Friday

Riggs Eckelberry doesn’t look like a bomb-thrower. And yet, he’s driving the disruption of a trillion-dollar industry that has fallen behind the times and is affecting the health of millions.
That industry is Big Water. Simply, those billion-dollar centralized water systems aren’t coping with demand, and water quality is getting worse.

The answer? Instant Infrastructure^TM. Businesses are doing their own water treatment, using modular, prefabricated systems that are trucked right on site. They get better water quality, lower rates through recycling, and even improved environmental grades!
Ten years after launching public company OriginClear, Riggs and his
team are offering those truck-in-place modular systems in the USA,
while licensees are building products internationally using OriginClear’s low-energy, chemical-free innovation.

Riggs Eckelberry is uniquely qualified to ride the huge wave of do-it-
yourself water treatment that is transforming an industry, having

learned management in the nonprofit space, captained oceangoing
ships, and achieved several tech successes during the dot-com boom.
