Everything reused. Nothing lost.
History of Clean Water Global
Meet Timmy, the guy who got tired of waiting
Timmy knows coatings. He's been in the industry long enough to see the mess up close: paint rinse water polluting our systems, and no one doing a thing about it.
So he did.
With zero patience for red tape and a head full of solutions, he built Clean Water Global from the ground up.
Today, he leads innovation, partnerships, and strategy, with one mission: Make wastewater management smarter, cleaner, and actually doable.
History of Clean Water Global
Our founder ran a painting business with a nine-person crew. Every week, same question: where does the paint rinse water go?
Brushes. Rollers. Spray guns. All washed with water. And that water? Full of toxic waste.
Most people think water-based paint is safe to pour down the drain. It's not. It's loaded with VOCs, microplastics, biocides, PFAS, heavy metals, you name it. And without a system, it all ends up in our waterways.
So we built the system.
Clean Water Global was born
No more guesswork. No more shortcuts.
We give professionals, painters, sprayers, manufacturers a clean, legal, zero-stress solution for dealing with rinse water.
We collect it. We process it. We recover raw materials.
No incineration. No dumping. No fines.
From day one, circularity wasn't a nice-to-have, it was the plan.
We reclaim clean water and reuse materials that would otherwise be burned or lost.
The industry’s moving fast, from solvent-based to water-based products. We’re already there.
Our treatment units are built for growth. And so are we.

At CWG, we bring you collection systems that work your way, whether it's tough, fixed tanks right on your site, rugged mobile collection boxes (KCA/KGA), or handy regional drop-off points We keep it straightforward and strong, so you can safely store rinse water without slowing down your game.

Processing
At our treatment sites, or right at your location with our mobile units. We tackle your rinse water with advanced, multi-stage filtration. PFAS and microplastics? Gone. Harmfull stuff? Out. We return clean water and recover valuable materials. Pure, powerful, and done right.
Automation
& Data Collection
Every batch is tracked. Every drop, analyzed. Through your digital CWG portal, you get the hard data, water volumes, contamination levels, recovery rates, and more. Want proof? You've got it. Digital waste certificates are issued, so everything stays transparent, traceable, and under control.
Valorisation of Water & Raw materials
We don't waste, we reclaim. Our process recovers valuable raw materials like binders and pigments, giving them a second life as input for other industries. Your not just throwing waste away, you're cutting your footprint and turning a cost into real value. That's circular power, done right.
