'Sink-urinal' hybrid saves water and encourages hand washing
While corporates do lot of innovation to satisfy the aspirations of the consumer, the need of the society often remains on the sidelines. Here is one example where societal needs are kept in mind in innovation. This innovation not only encourages hand washing, but also conserves water in a big way. The water used for washing hands flushes the urinal.
Kaspars Jursons is a Latvian designer who made a sink-and-urinal-in-one called TANDEM that goes for about $590. The TANDEM is already being used at a concert hall in Riga, Latvia and exported to Norway, Germany, Russia and Poland. The sink is sensor-activated. The water from the hand wash flushes the urinal.
Has your company designed any socially responsible innovative product. Do share it.
