Innovative Sustainable Technology
eWater electrolysed water technology, similar to the technology used in saltwater pools, offers a powerful yet environmentally responsible alternative to traditional cleaning methods. The product represents a major leap forward in the environmental movement, positioning the reduction of toxic chemical use in a similar way to the impact of solar and batteries on the fossil fuel industry.
eWater customers have collectively replaced of over half a billion litres of harmful chemicals across Australia and the removal of more than 125 million single-use plastic bottles.

Medical Director of NSW Health’s Climate and Risk Net Zero Unit, Dr Kate Charlesworth, said the technology is a meaningful change that will replace the need to rely on cleaning chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and people. “This change demonstrates our commitment to NSW Health’s Future Health Framework, to deliver an environmentally sustainable footprint for future health care,” Dr Charlesworth said.

“By using eWater Systems’ technology, we can reduce the risk of adverse environmental impacts of using chemicals, take better care of hospital infrastructure and equipment, and create a more efficient service,”
