Soon, it will be possible to see them on the streets of the American city. A technological bathroom concept made of steel and metal panels with a rainwater reuse system that won a design competition held in San Francisco, California (USA). Proposed by the architecture studio SmithGroup, the project is “worthy” to be proposed in

They have come to call it ‘the dust that will save the world’ and it is no wonder. It is Poly-Glu, a product that purifies water in record time and that does it at low cost and in a very simple and sustainable way. Composed of an acid that is extracted from fermented soybeans, this

Salomon Valdivia, a faithful reader of eco-inventions, sends us his prototype “saving water for the shower”. It is a device (prototype in operation) in the shape of a capsule that measures 40 cm long by 9 cm wide or diameter and that is easily connected to the shower, in this case to the hose that

Ava Vanity Basin, is a system that is committed to the reuse of the water that we throw through the sink. To take advantage of this water, the device recycles it and then stores it so that it can later be used both in the toilet and in irrigation systems. There is a lot that

One way to avoid getting sick while traveling is to eat only fruit that you peel yourself, as plants can kill bacteria. Well, why not apply this principle to water filtration directly? A team of scientists has done just that, testing how effective pine wood is in filtering water using xylem, a lignified conductive plant

Fight against drought. Image: n21SURIYA Shutterstock We look at some of the drought measures that are in development and in use around the world. Different ways to fight against the lack of fresh water. Drought is one of the worst natural disasters we have faced in recent years. But there are innovative solutions to reduce

Desalinating seawater can require a lot of energy or specialized engineering. A thin membrane made of porous wood may be able to simplify the process. In membrane desalination, the salt water is pumped through a film, usually made of some type of polymer with very narrow pores that filter out the salt and only allow

Carlos Rivadulla had the idea when he was scrubbing floors in the military. Now, several years later and with the help of their brother, Juan Rivadulla, they have created the Ecofrego, a mop bucket with two compartments that separate clean water from dirty water. A slight modification of the traditional mop bucket that saves water,

Saving up to 40% of the water you consume in each shower is possible thanks to EkoduchaH2O +, a sustainable product of Appropriate Technology that draws on ingenuity and few resources to make it available to anyone, especially those with more difficulties to access the water, this system that allows better management and that, at

Kristof Retezár, an industrial design student, has come up with this ingenious smart bottle that he has dubbed Fontus. Its function is to condense or extract moisture from the air while we ride our bicycle to generate drinking water by filling a bottle. Generating water from the air. It is the same thermoelectric refrigeration principle
