# Food Waste Water Extractors The Eco-Wiz Pulls Usable Water from Leftovers By Michael Hines | Published 2012-01-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eco-wiz References: [earth911](http://earth911.com/news/2011/12/28/renee-mison-eco-wiz-turns-food-waste-into-water/) & [eco-wiz](http://www.eco-wiz.com/) Eco-Wiz is a Singapore-based startup that has designed a machine that extracts the water from food waste. Eco-Wiz was started by Renee Misson, a semi-retired marketer who decided to head back into the work world after becoming enamored with a Korean company and its food waste water extractor. Misson bought the rights for the machine and founded Eco-Wiz soon after. The water extractor can typically pull 267 gallons of water out of 1 ton of food waste. The water is not drinkable, but can be used to do things such as water plants and clean floors. The Eco-Wiz is already in use in several Singapore hotels where it is helping cut the cost of the water bill and the garbage disposal bill. Misson recently partnered with a Thai company to improve the efficiency of the Eco-Wiz to make it suitable for use with other businesses such as food plants and laundromats. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 32% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Food Waste Water Extractors:** Innovative machines that extract water from food waste for reuse, revolutionizing water conservation efforts. - **Sustainability in Hospitality Industry:** Hotels can cut their water and waste costs by implementing new technologies that fit sustainable practices, thereby setting a new standard for eco-travel. - **Circular Economy Solutions:** Eco-Wiz opens new opportunities for circular economy, by reducing water and waste costs for businesses and reusing wastewater within other industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Hotels, resorts, and restaurants can benefit from implementing water-saving and waste-reducing technologies for more sustainable practices. - **Industrial Food Processing:** Food processing plants can reduce resource consumption and costs by implementing machines like Eco-Wiz to reuse wastewater and mitigate waste. - **Commercial Laundry:** Eco-Wiz could help laundromats and dry cleaners with water conservation efforts, while saving costs and reducing wastewater discharge. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Drinking Water Home Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmospheric.md) - [AI Food Waste Reducers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbisk.md) - [Compact Electric Composters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minix.md) - [AI-Powered Food Waste Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waiste.md) - [Atmospheric Water Generator Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watercube100-wc100.md) - [Water-Recycling Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s10-ultra-robot-vacuum.md) - [Fully Automatic Kitchen Composts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-waste-composter.md) - [In-Office Food Recycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mill-for-workplace.md) - [Business-Friendly Efficient Composting Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/efficient-composting-technology.md)
