Craig A Rothleitner

A qualified motor mechanic and heavy rigger by trade Craig worked in the dredging industry for 10 years where he witnessed first hand stormwater contamination at the end of the contamination process the receiving water environments and coastal ocean, the waste we dredged was highly degraded vegetative and other and this waste is the same waste we are seeing in the drains 25 years later. Craig has invested the last 20 years to firstly inventing / developing / proving both infield and scientifically to the highest standards the only high flow to fine particle capture water filtration technology to address what current traditional and screen filtration cannot. He then deep dived into drainage infrastructure opening over 16,000 drains around the world to understand why our urban waterways are all toxic and why despite governments investing millions in end of line treatments such as GPT's/ CDS, Water Sensitive Urban Design, living streams, swales we not only continue to see our receiving waterways become more toxic but also why we are not engaging rainfall as a water source.
