    Under the sign garbage could be used for the production of water. It is not some environmentalist's visionary dream, but what Eco Wiz, a revolutionary machine that takes its name from the Singapore start-up that made it, is able to do: transform leftover food in clean water.



    A Korean invention, Eco Wiz has been perfected thanks to an investment of 380 thousand dollars from the homonymous company from the South Asian Republic, specialized in the research and innovation of municipal solid waste management, which produces it. And it is capable of deriving from a ton of food waste in over 1000 liters of water, to be used for irrigation and hygiene of floors and services. A nice advantage both in terms of saving water resources and reducing the amount of waste produced.

    Interviewed by The Jakarta Globe newspaper, the owner of the company Renée Mison explains that "in Singapore for every ton of waste sent to landfill, you have to pay a rather high disposal fee, but our customers have found that they are saving 70 % on disposal rates after purchasing our machinery ".

    The company installed decomposers in different hotels, including theInterContinental Singapore, and at some institutional locations, such as the Singapore Polytechnic, improving not only customers' expenses, but also their environmental impact. And the start-up has no intention of stopping: "higher performance could allow us to market our products to the food industry, supermarkets, schools". In addition to creating a solution in every household, which could thus transform waste disposal into water for the washing machine, for example.

    Precisely for this reason he signed an agreement with a Thai research institute for improve performance and specialization, depending on the food introduced, the microorganisms that act as decomposers, used to convert food waste into water. “So if I were to sell the machinery to a company in the food industry that makes salads, for example, I want to introduce microbes that specialize in decomposing vegetables,” Mison explained. A move that could allow Eco wiz to carry out its task even faster and more efficiently.



    Less food waste and more water available ... not bad right?
