As part of their India development program, the Indian arm of a global pump manufacturer is looking at diversifying to grey water recycling systems. The company is interested in collaborating with Australian companies to manufacture recycling systems to treat grey water from washing basins (if possible from washing machines also) for using it as flushing water in toilets. It is preferable to have portable equipment which could be fitted under the wash basin for domestic purposes.
