Hughie Sink Presentation

Hughie Sink 30sec Ad

Selected for exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney from August 2009

“Each year the Powerhouse Museum exhibits finalists from the Australian International Design Awards, selecting those that showcase excellence in design as well as innovative use of technology or materials to provide significant benefits to the user.”

FINALIST in the Australian International Design Award - Consumer

BEST PRODUCT AWARD at the 2008 Adelaide HIA Show

NATIONAL PRODUCT OF THE YEAR WINNER :- www.smartwatermark.org

The overall winner of the first national awards recognising Australia?s outstanding water saving products or services is the Hughie Sink, a simple moulded plastic sink insert invented in Queensland.

The Hughie Sink fits into an average sink to collect water used to clean hands, wash vegetables or kitchenware so that the water can then be easily re-used for pot plants or the garden, instead of going down the drain. It was selected as a finalist in the Smart Approved WaterMark Product of the Year Awards for its marketability.

It holds up to seven litres of water and costs around $25. It was named in memory of the late Hughie Alexander, a dairy farmer in Gippsland, Victoria, by his son Ian Alexander who lives near Townsville, Queensland and who invented the device.

The Smart WaterMark?s independent expert panel selected four products as finalists from over 140 products which have been proven to demonstrate water savings for our community.

The panel concluded that all finalists deserved recognition as they demonstrate the diversity of water saving products available for people to save water around the home and they help generate community debate about water conservation,? said the CEO of Smart WaterMark, Mr Julian Gray.

Hughie products are delighted to offer Australian schools and other non-profit organisations a unique, environmentally friendly and highly practical alternative to traditional fundraising products. “The Hughie Sink”.

Why not use the ‘Hughie Sink‘ to undertake an environmental project and fundraiser especially during the National Water Week 18th to 24th October, 2009. Refer to National Water week site. http://www.nationalwaterweek.org.au/schools.php
