It also eliminates the need for landfill sites, reduces carbon emissions, and helps businesses cut down on landfill taxes. The company has partnered with institutions such as Brunel University London and The Association for Renewable Energy and Technology. It has also contributed to charities such as Fresh Water Habitats, ALK Positive UK, and others. It is seeking support for deployment of its technology on sites where safe and easy disposal of hazardous or infectious waste can be undertaken, especially in the wake of Covid-19.

Loowatt argues that poor sanitation leads to more than £150 billion being lost every year due to health care costs, decreased income and productivity. It aims to change this with its patented toilet. The toilet's waterless flush seals waste hygienically away and is the starting point for Loowatt's unique closed-loop processing system. Loowatt works closely with the local utility partners and ensures that waste is safely collected, treated, and transformed into biogas to generate electricity and heat with nutrients captured for organic fertiliser production. Loowatt has processed 555 tonnes of waste and served more than 250,000 people. The company will use the investment to scale-up manufacturing, complete development of the Loowatt Pro data transmission system, and develop an aftersales monetisation strategy for large international contracts, starting with the City of Manila.
