Self-Cleaning Water Bottles

The 'Luma Bottle' Uses UV-C Light to Kill 99.999% of Bacteria

— April 5, 2019 — Eco
Reusable water bottles are great for avoiding disposable plastic alternatives but can become very dirty during daily use, so the 'Luma Bottle' has been created to keep the water you drink as clean as possible.

The bottle is outfitted with a UV-C light that can be activated after you have filled the reservoir to perform a cleaning functionality that takes about 60 seconds to complete. This will kill 99.999% of the bacteria found in the water and the bottle to provide only the finest H2O to drink each day, which could lead to better levels of hydration and the avoidance of potential illnesses.

The 'Luma Bottle' has a durable stainless steel design that's also insulated to keep your water cold for extended periods.
Trend Themes
1. Self-cleaning Water Containers - The application of self-cleaning technology in reusable containers could help minimize waterborne diseases caused by dirty water.
2. UV-C Light Cleaning - The use of UV-C light in cleaning not only in water bottles but in other industries like healthcare could help reduce the transmission of bacteria and viruses.
3. Smart Insulated Bottles - Creating smart, insulated bottles that can maintain the temperature of the beverage for more extended periods can also create a market for consumers who value convenience and quality on-the-go.
Industry Implications
1. Reusable Water Bottle Industry - Integrating this technology into the reusable water bottle industry can create a unique selling point focused on maintaining cleaner and safer water for consumers.
2. Healthcare Industry - Adopting UV-C light cleaning technology in the healthcare industry could minimize the risk of cross-contamination and promote better hygiene among patients and healthcare workers.
3. Travel and Outdoors Industry - Creating smart insulated water bottles that maintain temperatures for more extended periods lends well to industries catering for travel and the outdoors, where consumers require easy-to-use and high-quality products while engaging in physical activities.
