TO SEE THE GREEN GROW
Design thinking 1
How can we get cats interested in drinking water?
As cats increasingly become integral family members，
the importance of feline hydration has come to the forefront of pet care.
"The United States is home to an estimated 74 to 76 million pet cats, averaging nearly two cats per cat-owning household."
Furthermore, getting a cat to "fall in love" with drinking water is a headache for many owners.
Compared to dogs, cats have a significantly higher thirst threshold; this means that their brains often only signal the need to drink when their bodies are already in a state of severe dehydration.

How can we make products more eco-friendly—
or more beneficial to the environment?
“We can no longer treat water as a limitless resource, we must manage it as a common good.”

Institude for water, Enviroment and Health
In a cat's water bowl,
60% of the water is left over
and discarded every day.
70%
of the pet water bowls currently on the market are made from non-recyclable composite plastics.
Painpoint
Cat Shows No Interest in Drinking
Water Contamination and Waste
Water waste
Noise pollution
Hard to clean
Plastic material are non-recyclable
Existing products still face numerous challenges...
Poor material selection and design flaws make the problem of water wastage difficult to resolve.
Design Criteria
Design an automatic cat water dispenser using recyclable materials that minimizes water waste while ensuring that any excess water is utilized efficiently. Guaranteeing an optimal drinking experience for the cat.
eco-friendly and efficient hydration solution for cats
Design features
Sensor-Activated Water Flow
Once the sensor detecte cat come close and wants to drink water, it let water output 10ml/time, last for 5s/time
Siphon Principle
is the phenomenon where liquid flows into narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity, driven by the balance of adhesion and cohesion.
Design features
Utilizing the cotton wick as a medium to guide the water flow, any water not consumed by the cat is transferred to the cultivation layer, thereby providing nutrients for the plants.
Design features
Wastewater Utilization
The remaining 60% will no longer go to waste; instead, it will become nourishment for green life. This is the origin of the GREENSTREAM philosophy.
Design features
Continuous Service
With an integrated four-tray storage and a bi-weekly growth cycle, our dedicated replenishment service eliminates the hassle of finding compatible seeds.
