# Sustainable Crowned Urinals The 'King of Urinal' Also Rules in the Land of Eco-Friendliness By Meghan Young | Published 2010-09-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-of-urinal References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/king-of-urinal-offers-clean-and-hygienic-toilet-while-conversing-water/) The 'King of Urinal' also extends its reign into the land of [sustainability and eco-friendliness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-bathroom-design). The crown doesn't lie. In fact, it's the crown that gives it the ultimate eco power since it also acts as a sink. Designed by Jang WooSeok , the 'King of Urinal' [reuses the washbasin water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clesana-x1) to also clean the lavatory -- knocking two birds with one stone. Yet I think one of the best features about this urinal is that it encourages guys to actually wash their hands (which can be a difficult task in itself). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Eco-friendly Bathroom Fixtures:** Develop environmentally sustainable urinals and bathroom fixtures that encourage water conservation and cleanliness - **Multi-functional Lavatory:** Create bathroom fixtures that have many uses for better resource conservation and ease of use - **Hygienic Restroom Solutions:** Invent innovative approaches to encourage handwashing in public restrooms and reduce the spread of germs ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plumbing and Bathroom Fixture Manufacturing:** Innovate on bathroom fixtures and plumbing systems to develop sustainable, eco-friendly, and multi-functional products - **Restaurant and Hospitality Industry:** Implement eco-friendly restroom practices and bathroom fixtures across restaurants and hospitality establishments to promote cleanliness and sustainability - **Smart Building and Facility Management:** Develop solutions for building and facility managers that promote water and energy conservation, hygiene, and resource efficiency in public restrooms ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Sand-Filled Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandi-toilet.md) - [Closed-Loop Bathing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfall-shower.md) - [Water-Saving Shower Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu.md) - [Water-Saving Bathroom Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergvattnet.md) - [Futuristic Intelligent Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-toilet.md) - [Outdoor Pee Funnel Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/save-a-tree-pee.md) - [Festival-Focused Toilet-Sharing Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-toilet.md) - [Sustainable Bathroom Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-bathroom-design.md) - [Inflatable Portable Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpot.md)
