Scientific advancements

In 2016, Concurrent Technologies Corporation’s System for Laundry and Shower Recycle/Reuse (SYLAS-R2)[1] won an Edison Award.[2] SYLAS-R2 is an energy-efficient, scalable and fully automated greywater reuse system that recycles approximately 90% of greywater. Greywater is wastewater generated in households or office buildings from sources such as sinks, showers, baths, and clothes washers.
