Introduction
The reuse and saving of water in the domestic cycle is pivotal to achieve the sustainability, since one of the increasing environmental problem is the consumption of water resources in household appliances. To reduce domestic water use we propose to recycle dishwasher wastewater to cultivate edible and ornamental plants (Fig. 1) and improve the indoor environmental conditions (air quality, temperature and humidity) (Costa et al. 2018).
An important step in the recycling of wastewaters is the use of multispecific microbial consortia able to degrade and mineralize the organic matter present in the wastewaters (Posadas et al. 2017). They can be used either attached or suspended, acting as biofilters.
This research relies on an interdisciplinary approach combining experimental methodologies and user centred design techniques (Norman 1986): metagenomic identification/cultivation of microorganisms for bioremediation, plant nutritional analysis for food security, participatory design for expert and user involvement in the system ideation and development.
Materials and Methods
Biofilter. Selected filamentous, biofilm forming, cyanobacteria (Trichormus spp.), were isolated from dystrophic
environments and co-cultivated with some of the common heterotrophic bacteria present in the dishwasher wastewater (WW), e.g., Acinetobacter, Exiguobacterium and Pseudomonas spp.
Different bacterial combinations were tested in a small scale, tubular photobioreactor (PBR) under different culture conditions (light, temperature, flow velocity and dilutions of WW) to evaluate the efficiency in cleaning WW, stripping of gross particulate, degrading of organic load with ultimate nutrient mineralization. This treated WW is then used to support the growth of edible/ornamental plants included in the integrated device.

Plants. Preliminary experiments were conducted with untreated WW. Experiments have been performed
indoor in pots with peat-based substrate on batches of lettuce, Lactuca sativa, irrigated with untreated WW or tap water. Plant biomass and functionality was measured by biochemical descriptors (chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll a fluorescence).
Sustainable Product System. We performed a co-design workshop for the generation of the SPS concept, built
a demonstrative prototype, and carried out surveys and focus group to understand user behavior and preferences regarding dishwasher use, eating habits and cultivation interests.
Results
An efficient algal-bacterial consortium has been designed and tested. The consortium is able to thrive in raw dishwasher WW and represents the core microbiota processing WW in the ad hoc designed PBR.
Furthermore, to check the use and feasibility of WW as irrigation, the quality of plants irrigated with raw wastewater was evaluated. Both the dry weight and the chlorophyll contents were comparable to tap water fed plants, while leaf functionality was higher in plants irrigated with wastewater, as well as photochemical efficiency of Photosystem II.
Conclusions
The algal-bacterial photobioreactor allows the dishwasher wastewater treatment and nutrient recovery by the consortium activity on the organic and nutrient WW loads.
The Sustainable Product System prototype, including the algal-bacterial photobioreactor, provides the upcycling of nutrients into zero-mile food, the water reuse and saving, beneficial to both environment and economic circular domains. The SPS system will change user behavior, increase human health, save natural resources, as well as stimulate the eco-product market and create new jobs. In the future, the results of this project could rub off and improve other domestic devices and water cycles
