It is hardly a secret that animal feces are often used as fertilizer, but when it comes to man's best friend, their excrements are rarely considered up to the task; that could change thanks to the Convertor of Pet Waste. It is a machine that transforms pet feces into a useful biological fertilizer.
Developed by Prof. Dai YunTing, Lu JunShi, Liu Fei, Jiang Ying, Yin HuiJing, Xia ZhenLi and Gao Juan, the aptly dubbed Convertor of Pet Waste was a recent 2012 red dot award: design concept winner. Pocketing this award really shows its potential on the market and in life.
To work, the Converter of Pet Waste uses infrared induction and a ‘Cybernation Tech Biofertiliser’ (CTB) system to distinguish and intelligently collect the pet faeces. This way a person doesn't have to deal with it themselves.
