essentially it's one australian company claiming they can do this but now their technology is only at demonstration level. i hope it works out but i've seen stuff like this fail before.
also it's not zero waste they'll just use more electricity to turn the brine into "salt" which makes it zero discharge and let them avoid environmental regulations.
they could use that japanese tech somebody posted about last week to generate power from diluting the brine, and then find some third thing to do with it
To be fair, the video claims to crystalize the salt and not have brine in output which would make the waste stream far easier to manage.
