# Back-to-Back Bathroom Fixtures 'BRS' from Frank Guo Converts Wastewater into Toilet Water By Michael Hines | Published 2010-11-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brs-from-frank-guo References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/11/22/divided-shower/) Water waste could be at an all-time low if 'BRS' from Frank Guo was installed in every household. 'BRS' stands for '[Bathroom Recycle System](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-bathroom-design)' and is intended to convert wasted water into reusable water. When water from the [shower portion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rorra-filtered-showerhead) of 'BRS' goes down the drain, a portion of it is captured and stored for later use by the toilet. BRS from Frank Guo could help drought stricken areas save water and cash-strapped families save some much-needed money. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Water Recycling Systems:** Innovative bathroom water recycling systems like 'BRS' by Frank Guo are an underserved market with great potential for disruptive innovation opportunities. - **Sustainable Plumbing:** The trend towards sustainable plumbing and water-saving technology represents an opportunity for companies to innovate and meet growing consumer demand for eco-friendly solutions. - **Smart Home Plumbing:** The integration of internet-of-things (IoT) technology into bathroom fixtures represents a growing trend with the potential for innovative solutions that can enhance water conservation efforts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plumbing and Water Management:** Companies in the plumbing and water management industry could capitalize on the trend towards sustainable and eco-friendly solutions by offering innovative technology, such as water recycling systems like 'BRS'. - **New Home Construction:** The trend towards smart home plumbing and sustainable solutions represent an opportunity for new home construction companies to offer innovative technology that appeals to modern, eco-conscious consumers. - **Municipal Water Management:** The integration of sustainable and water-saving technology in households represents an opportunity for municipal water management bodies to partner with innovative companies and enhance conservation efforts in drought-stricken areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Closed-Loop Bathing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfall-shower.md) - [Water-Saving Shower Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu.md) - [Pressure-Sensitive Shower Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-shower-concept.md) - [Instantaneous Hot Water Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heau-shower.md) - [WiFi-Enabled Circular Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circular-shower.md) - [Smart Toilet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-toilets.md) - [Sustainable Sand-Filled Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandi-toilet.md) - [Brutalist Smart Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formation-02.md) - [Anti-Splashing Bathroom Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-urinal-design.md)
