7. No-Flush Urinal by Waterless
It looks like a regular urinal and drains into ordinary plumbing, but this dry version eliminates the need for flushing water. A disposable trap holds a layer of biodegradable liquid BlueSeal that is lighter than urine and floats on top, trapping odor underneath. This fixture saves up to 45,000 gallons of water per urinal annually, requires less maintenance than traditional models, and improves rest-room sanitation.
