Not for an RV -- RO waste can just be plumbed into the water holding tank. Zero waste.
I've asked it before when this "solution" is posed. exactly how would you re-plumb a separate holding tank for the recovered water under these conditions? If you keep dumping "dirty" water back into the one holding tank what is the efficiency?

AFAIK, most of the reverse osmosis filtering systems are returning the same water that came out of the tank, back into it. The elements that are removed in the filtration process are captured in the media of the filters.
