Water-Purifying Bags

This Solar-Powered Filtration System Helps to Provide Clean Drinking Water

— August 18, 2015 — Eco
California-based company Tortoise Gear is producing a solar-powered filtration system that can be used nearly anywhere. While clean drinking water is a necessity, it is difficult to access in remote areas. This new filtration system makes it easier for campers and hikers to access clean drinking water anytime.

The new kit is called the 'SOL Water Bag' and operates through the use of UV power. To use the solar-powered filtration kit, simply fill the bags with water and lay them in the sun. Depending on how powerful rays are, the water will take three to 24 hours to purify. The bags are made from a durable plastic that is entirely free from BPA, DHP and Phthalates.

The SOL Water Bag is the perfect way to disinfect water by using nothing more than the natural power of the sun.
Trend Themes
1. Solar-powered Water Filtration - The demand for off-grid water filtration systems that utilize sustainable solar power presents an opportunity for companies to offer eco-friendly solutions for hikers, campers and those in remote areas.
2. Portable Water Purification Kits - With growing concerns over access to clean drinking water, there is an opportunity for companies to create lightweight and portable water purification kits that can be easily transported and utilized.
3. Sustainable Outdoor Gear - The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly outdoor gear presents an opportunity for companies to create innovative products that not only meet consumer needs but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - As more people engage in outdoor recreation, there is a growing demand for innovative gear that helps make outdoor experiences more enjoyable and sustainable.
2. Renewable Energy - The increasing focus on renewable energy presents opportunities for companies that specialize in solar power and other sustainable energy sources.
3. Water Treatment - As concerns over water scarcity and pollution continue to grow, water treatment and purification companies have an opportunity to create new and innovative solutions that address these issues.
