Biopipe was founded by a group of passionate entrepreneurs whose mission was to develop the world's first biological wastewater treatment that does not produce sludge.
Biopipe, a patented and one-of-a-kind wastewater treatment system, is "inspired by nature," and treats wastewater biologically without any chemicals in a series of pipes.
Biopipe was established in 2014 and is rapidly emerging as a disruptor in the decentralized (onsite) sewage wastewater treatment industry. After years of R&D, we have developed a biomimetic process that is versatile, fully automated, self-contained, sustainable, eco-friendly, highly efficient and extremely cost effective.
Biopipe is internationally protected with patents and since its introduction, it has been very well-received and widely acknowledged with a global installed base. Biopipe plants are delivered to customers as pre-assembled or plug and play units. In addition to providing superior technology, Biopipe prides itself for outstanding customer service and technical assistance.
Our History
Research and development process begins.
"Enes Kutluca, the inventor of Biopipe, started all this with a simple dream of making wastewater treatment simple, affordable and as close as possible to the way nature processes sewage wastewater. The initial single module proof of concept was successfully completed and Environmental Technologies, Inc. is established in Istanbul, Turkey."
In order to globalize the technology, Biopipe AG in Zurich, Switzerland and Biopipe TR in Istanbul, Turkey are established and intellectual property is transferred from Environmental Technologies, Inc.
This move, along with securing a number of significant projects in Turkey, helped give the biological wastewater treatment startup its early traction. The technology is commercialized as Biopipe!
Established Biopipe DMCC in Dubai, UAE to enter the MENA (Middle East North Africa) market.
The success continued and Biopipe was acclaimed as one of the most innovative technologies in sewage wastewater treatment and won several international recognitions.
Biopipe entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with UAE-based Metito Overseas Limited to expand further in the MENA market.
The agreement was terminated in 2019.
Biopipe Global Corp, a United States of America corporation acquired all the assets of Biopipe Global AG and Biopipe TR.
Biopipe has now expanded its footprint with presence in Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, South Africa, Ethiopia and the United States

Social Impact
The Noble Laureate, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi said it best: "Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water." According to IWA, around 80% of all wastewater is discharged into the world's waterways where it creates health, environmental and climate-related hazards. With water stress rising across the globe, the solution is to recycle wastewater and increase the efficiency of water use in agriculture. Billions of dollars are spent on water infrastructure, but little on recycling technologies. Biopipe sewage waste wastewater treatment system offers a new and unique solution for decentralized treatment, which eliminates the need for capital-intensive, municipal treatment systems. We squarely address the intersectionality of sustainable waste water management and economic development.
