Sustainability Policy
Pioneering green public sanitation across India
Our Environmental Mission
At LooCafe, sustainability isn't just a policy - it's the foundation of our business. Backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and operating 270+ smart public toilets across Hyderabad, we're revolutionizing how India approaches public sanitation with environmentally responsible solutions.
Every LooCafe toilet is designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing public health benefits. We're proving that sustainable infrastructure can be commercially viable at scale.

- Real-time water monitoring
Waste Management
Our Bio-Circular Resource Technology (B-CRT) transforms waste into resources, achieving near-zero discharge to municipal sewage systems.
- On-site waste processing
- Biogas generation for energy
- Compost production for local use
- Zero sewage discharge goal
Energy Efficiency
Solar-powered operations and energy-efficient systems minimize our carbon footprint while ensuring 24/7 availability.
- Solar panel installations
- LED lighting throughout
- Energy-efficient ventilation
- Smart power management
Green Construction
Our facilities are built with sustainable materials and designed for longevity, reducing construction waste and resource consumption.
- Recycled and sustainable materials
- Modular, relocatable design
- Green landscaping integration
- Minimal site disruption
