Brier has played a key role in communicating Honu Island Wastewater Solutions’ mission to spotlight “island communities”—a metaphor for the most rural and isolated places that face high costs, limited access to materials and expertise, and insufficient scale to support conventional wastewater systems.

Through short documentary films, photography, and a fully realized website, Brier has helped convey how Honu is redefining wastewater treatment through decentralized, intelligent, and sustainable design, capturing the team’s deep commitment to innovating solutions for communities too often overlooked.

In low density and rural areas, centralized sewage systems are often expensive to install and maintain. In fact, about 25% of Americans, or 31 million households, rely on onsite systems, like septic, for sanitation, many of which have limited capabilities and can easily fail, resulting in contamination of aquifers and coastlines.

Honu protects island water resources through effective and affordable decentralized wastewater systems. Their bio-inspired technologies remove nitrogen and recycle water for onsite reuse, protecting coastal communities and ecosystems from the harmful effects of water pollution.
