The Hexa Pot is a disposable outdoor cooking pot made of paper. The paper pot is designed specifically to heat liquids and is 100 percent biodegradable. The Hexa Pot gets its name from the three-dimensional hexagon it forms when fully folded and ready for use. The device is meant to be as portable as possible with its [flat-pack paper pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-for-life) and its [folding heat station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shuhu-stove). The pot can boil liquid and cook food, provided the food has some form of liquid in it, such as noodles. This inventive and eco-consicous outdoor appliance was designed by Energia and is currently seeking funding on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-systems).
