Saudi desalination company wins Guinness World Record in line with Vision 2030 – Saudi Arabia A Saudi Arabian company has won the Guiness World Record for having the lowest energy consumption of a water desalination plant. The Saudi Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) set the record by using reverse osmosis technology, which uses pressure to force water through a membrane, effectively filtering out the salt without having to heat up the water. Advances in technology in the last two decades, including new membranes that require less water pressure, have led to a more widespread use of reverse osmosis in desalination. (LINK).

Hoshinoya Taketomi-jima installs self-sufficient seawater desalination system, reducing plastic bottle waste – Japan Under the management of General Manager Kaoru Honda, the resort hotel Hoshinoya Taketomi-jima in Taketomi-Cho, Taketomi Island, recently started supplying its drinking water by desalinating seawater. The hotel hopes to reduce plastic bottle waste, which has become a problem on the island due to drifting garbage and littering. With the introduction of the independent water supply, the hotel will no longer provide bottled mineral water in guest rooms. This will reduce about 50,000 plastic bottles per year. (LINK).
