Orcatec is a brand that specializes in environmental solutions and technologies. Their philosophy is centered around observing and learning from nature to improve our quality of life, connect with the natural world, and reduce pollution. Orcatec focuses on four key areas: water, sun, air, and earth.

In the field of water, Orcatec harnesses the natural purification processes found in nature to treat wastewater and reduce water waste. By utilizing methods such as cascading ponds and aeration, they ensure that water is purified and reused efficiently, minimizing both waste and contamination. In the area of sun, Orcatec recognizes the critical role it plays in sustaining life on Earth.

They implement solar-powered systems, inspired by the marine iguanas of Galápagos, which use their dark skin to absorb solar radiation and warm themselves before venturing into the cold ocean. Orcatec installs solar water heaters and photovoltaic systems to harness the power of the sun for heating water and generating electricity. When it comes to air, Orcatec takes inspiration from the pink iguanas of Isabela island, which teach us the importance of avoiding disposable plastics.

By reusing durable products and rejecting disposables, Orcatec promotes a shift towards a waste-free lifestyle, reducing the generation of waste and protecting the environment. Lastly, Orcatec understands that the Earth holds countless secrets and resources that can be utilized for various purposes. They explore the potential of the Earth's treasures, finding medicine and intelligent solutions for sustainable living.

Orcatec offers a range of projects and services, including mechanical and natural water purification systems, solar heaters and photovoltaic installations, and the Iguana Cup initiative, which promotes the use of reusable cups to reduce disposable waste. With a strong network of collaborators, Orcatec has successfully executed numerous solar and water purification projects, avoiding thousands of tons of CO2 emissions and purifying millions of cubic meters of water.
