A ‘Radical’ Way to Clean Wastewater | Women Entrepreneurs

Paige Peters is the founder of Rapid Radicals Technology LLC, a startup that aims to combat sewer overflows and basement backups by speeding up the process by which wastewater can be treated during wet-weather events. Storms are becoming more intense, more frequent and less predictable due to climate change, she says, and those sudden surges of water put an incredible burden on aging infrastructure.
