For more than 30 years, Infiltrator Water Technologies has offered innovative solutions for wastewater and water management. Since the 1980s, Infiltrator has expanded and diversified our offerings to the onsite wastewater industry with the development and acquisition of multiple product lines including potable water tanks and decentralized wastewater treatment solutions.
We work to improve existing products and create new ones that provide valuable solutions needed by the wastewater industry and that are both sustainable and affordable for our customers. With over 140 granted or pending patents, Infiltrator has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to providing leading-edge products to the onsite wastewater industry.
Innovation and sustainability
Reducing the environmental footprint of materials, manufacturing and transportation is a global movement, and Infiltrator is committed to sustainability in our manufacturing and product development. Most of Infiltrator’s products are made of 95% recycled material.
Each year we purchase 75,000 tons of post-consumer and post-industrial thermoplastics that might have otherwise been landfilled and use those materials in the production of Infiltrator products at our ISO 9001:2015 registered manufacturing facilities. Additionally, reducing our carbon footprint and energy usage extends beyond our manufacturing operations to the installation and operation of our wastewater treatment systems.
To understand more about the carbon footprint of the wastewater treatment industry, Infiltrator recently funded a quantitative research study. The study evaluated the environmental impacts of both conventional septic systems consisting of a concrete septic tank and stone/pipe drainfield and systems using recycled thermoplastics tanks and chambers. The research found that even when transporting the recycled thermoplastic system 1,030 miles and conventional systems only 30 miles, the recycled systems reduced electricity consumption by 88%, fuel consumption by 67%, water consumption by 97%, and carbon emissions by 44%. This information has been valuable in our ongoing effort to provide products that perform and contribute to a sustainable future for the planet.
Social responsibility
Infiltrator is proud to be a corporate partner of Habitat for Humanity International. Through this partnership, Infiltrator donates materials for 50 septic systems to local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity throughout the United States each year. Along with product donations, Infiltrator employees volunteer time at local Habitat for Humanity affiliate “build days” where employees participate in the construction or renovation of homes.
Industry engagement
Supporting the onsite wastewater industry is part of our culture. Infiltrator is proud to be a part of this industry and to support the organizations at the local, state and national level that help to bring wastewater innovation and best practices to the forefront of the water conservation and wastewater management discussion. We believe that the best solutions for people and the planet come from constructive collaboration and information sharing.
