However, if you know that the beer you drink is a so-called environmentally friendly beer, which is the product of high-tech processing of toilet flushing water...
Do you still have this sense of scene?

Singapore, which has always paid attention to environmental protection, recently launched a "special" beer that is very popular with consumers. Incredibly, this beer is brewed with recycled toilet flushing water. of.
Global Network quoted Bloomberg as reporting that the World Wildlife Fund announced that approximately 2.7 billion people face water problems for at least one month every year. The shortage of fresh water resources has given rise to the idea of turning sewage into treasure in many countries, and this approach has gradually gained public understanding and support. Many countries with developed economies but short water resources have already applied this technology in practice.
Singapore is the first to bear the brunt of this. The NEWBrew brand beer launched is made from sewage recycled from toilet flushing.
The Singapore Water Authority cooperates with local breweries to first use ultraviolet rays to disinfect sewage, and then use state-of-the-art filter membranes to filter out harmful impurities.

According to the beer manufacturer, as long as it undergoes strict treatment methods, water from any source can be turned into drinking water. After tasting NEWBrew, some consumers think that the beer has a refreshing and soft taste, which is very suitable for drinking in hot areas like Singapore!
but!
There must be some consumer resistance.
There is not much left of the first batch of NEWBrew beer currently on the market. If you want to try it out, you have to buy it quickly.
Sweden , Canada and other countries have also launched beer brewed with sewage.

Singapore is an example of efficient water use and innovative water recycling technology in cities around the world.
When Singapore was founded nearly half a century ago, the "Father of Singapore" Lee Kuan Yew cried in front of the TV cameras: The word "water" blocks all development prospects. Without water, there is no basis for survival.

For Singapore, water was once more important than the military. Getting rid of the survival challenge of insufficient water resources and realizing the localization of water sources depended on several key factors. In 1965, Singapore had a population of more than 2 million , most of the water supply relies on two long-term water supply contracts signed with Malaysia in 1961 and 1962.
Lee Kuan Yew, the then Prime Minister of Singapore, said: "Every policy may bring us to our knees because of water resources issues."
"Water control" is a national strategic task. After nearly 50 years of innovative development, Singapore's water source is provided by a single neighboring country. Water purchase has developed to include rainwater collection, water purchase from neighboring countries, NEWater and seawater desalination. It is likened to "four faucets" by Singaporeans .
4 faucets not only ensure that every resident can enjoy tap water, but also allow Singapore's industry to fully develop. In 2011, the first water supply contract between Singapore and Malaysia expired. Singapore straightened its back and said that it "does not need to renew" and plans to achieve complete "self-sufficiency" in water supply before the second water supply contract expires in 2061.

recovers every drop of used water and produces NEWater after purification treatment with advanced membrane technology and ultraviolet technology. This is the most technologically innovative project in Singapore, creating a faucet in Singapore: NEWater.From the first NEWater plant put into operation in January 2002 to 2014, Singapore already has four NEWater plants. NEWater can basically meet 30% of the island's total water demand. It strives to increase this indicator to 20% by 2030. 50%.
Professor Biswa, the world's authority on water resources, once said that Singapore's annual "water loss" is only 5%, the lowest loss rate in the world.
