A team at Australia’s Queensland University has invented a waste treatment plant to treat household waste and waste water. The plan works on waste to produce methane, which is a clean, renewable source of energy and class A+ standard recycled water.

Though this recycled water is not good enough for drinking, yet it can be used for toilet flushing, gardening. Not a bad idea. Could help conserve a whole lot of water. It would be interesting to see when it is launched commercially. We sooooo badly need to save water! Apartment complexes which generate gallons of waste water would do very well to install a waste treatment plant like this. Could perhaps help save them plenty of dough in their energy bills too.
