# Automatic Odor-Eliminating Devices Geberit's DuoFresh System Cleans and Recycles Bad Air By Amy Duong | Published 2019-01-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duofresh References: [telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/designed-for-wellbeing/banish-bathroom-smells-with-geberit-duofresh/) & [geberit](https://www.geberit.com/insights/feeling-of-freshness.html) The 'Duofresh' device developed be Geberit is developed to clean bad air in bathroom settings, using a method that recycles the air rather than using chemically harmful sprays. The DuoFresh system saves energy and captures [bad odors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pladeo) within the actual ceramic WC device where it goes through a purifying process to be re-released into what would be a cleaner atmosphere. It brings a spa-like ambiance into the comfort of one's own home, drawing inspiration from the function of saunas and luxurious steam pools. Unlike most [bathroom sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zep-freshen), it purifies the air in the space rather than mask it with a stronger scent. It is initiated using a [carbon filter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airsancta) that hides behind the bathroom walls -- this needs to be replaced once a year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Automatic Air-purifying Devices:** There is an opportunity to develop automatic devices for indoor air purification. - **Eco-friendly Odor-eliminating Technologies:** There is an opportunity for companies to develop eco-friendly and energy-efficient odor-eliminating technologies for different settings. - **Innovative Toilet Technologies:** There is a room for innovation in creating toilet systems that go beyond their primary function. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Appliances Industry:** There is an opportunity to introduce air-purifying home appliances that are eco-friendly and energy-efficient. - **Smart Homes Industry:** There is an opportunity for the smart homes industry to develop an air-purifying system that can be remotely activated. - **Plumbing and Sanitaryware Industry:** There is an opportunity to explore other potential roles toilets and other sanitaryware can take on, beyond their primary function. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-in-One Toilet Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potty-pods.md) - [Potent Toilet Freshening Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoflora-limitless-scents-rim-blocks.md) - [Seasonally Adaptive Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-freshenerpurifier.md) - [Dual-Action Odor Eliminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-logic.md) - [Battery-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreo-macro-pro.md) - [Air-Purifying Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fotile-freshbake-range.md) - [Planter-Like Air Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-freshener-with-motion-sensors.md) - [Discreet Bathroom Deodorizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loo-drops.md) - [All-Natural Air Care Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-care-product.md)
