Swedish company Orbital Systems reduces water consumption by 90%.

One of my biggest worries when it comes to global warming is water or lack thereof. I try to keep up on innovations in this area and one company I've kept my eye on is Orbital Systems, based out of Sweden.

Orbital Systems has created a water recycling system that can massively reduce household water consumption. It's based on space technology research for missions to Mars. Since it would take 150-300 days to Mars, NASA and other organizations had to figure out how to reuse small amounts of water over and over. That technology is what inspired Orbital Systems.

The Orbital Shower system uses 90% less water and 80% less energy than a standard shower. The Orbital Tap reuses water from the sink (such as for hand washing) to flush the toilet.
