# Water-Weighing Scales The Water Scale by Muzaffer Kocer & Ayca Guven By Francis Tiangson | Published 2011-01-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-scale References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/01/18/water-weighs-all) & [muzafferkocer](http://www.muzafferkocer.com/) The Water Scale by Muzaffer Kocer & Ayca Guven is an eco-friendly food scale that operates on the Archimedes' Principle. The scale uses [displaced water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-bergvattnet) to measure the weight of the food thus reducing the amount of energy-wasting materials that go into other typical food scales. An added bonus to the Water Scale is that there is [no electricity needed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-treatment1), which means that there is no energy consumption which makes this water-based scale a greenovation. When I have my own kitchen to fill with appliances, this scale is definitely on my list. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Food Scales:** Opportunity for developing food scales that operate using sustainable principles like the Water Scale. - **Energy-efficient Appliances:** Potential to create appliances that reduce or eliminate electricity consumption, similar to the Water Scale. - **Greenovation in Kitchen Products:** Trend towards innovative, eco-friendly kitchen products like the water-based Water Scale. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Kitchen Appliance Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore creating sustainable and energy-efficient kitchen appliances. - **Product Design:** Designers can focus on developing eco-friendly and innovative kitchen products. - **Sustainable Materials:** Opportunity for suppliers to provide materials for eco-friendly food scales and other green kitchen products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-Part Kitchen Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lari-weighing-scale.md) - [Multifunctional Kitchen Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/precision-scale-with-timer.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Body Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-scale.md) - [Precision Coffee Brewing Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acaia-pearl-model-s.md) - [High-Precision Sensor Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/household-smart-scale.md) - [Precision Coffee Measurement Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewista-smart-scale-ii.md) - [Portable Minimalist Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bifur.md) - [Size-Inclusive Weight Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-wide-base-weight-scale.md) - [Smart-Designed Body Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartdesigned-body-scale.md)
