On this episode of Nemo Nation, hosts Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac sit down with Andrew Crimston, Founder and CEO of Washbox, to discuss how one simple innovation could change the environmental impact of the global construction industry.

Every year, construction projects around the world waste billions of liters of clean water and release harmful chemicals—including microplastics and PFAS—into our ecosystems. Washbox is tackling that head-on. This closed-loop wash station recycles its own water supply, captures pollutants, and transforms liquid waste into manageable solids—all while staying cost-neutral for builders.

Andrew shares how Washbox is already being used on projects like Google’s New York headquarters and the Seattle Aquarium, and how the company’s Green Sink Initiative, a UN Ocean Decade project, is helping to educate the industry and drive global behavior change.

Plus, learn about Washbox’s 2025 Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to train 100,000 construction and community stakeholders and eliminate 50 million liters of pollution from worksites over the next five years.
