# Water-Powered Sanitizers The 'EO mini' Nano Mist Sanitizer Replaces the Need for Chemicals By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-09-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-mist-sanitizer References: [gadgetsin](https://gadgetsin.com/eo-mini-sustainable-nano-mist-sanitizer-works-on-any-items.htm) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eomini/eo-mini-sustainable-nano-mist-sanitizer-for-everything?utm_source=kickbooster-direct&utm_medium=kickbooster&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=f2dc264d) Hand sanitizers and antibacterial solutions are often formulated with chemicals and packaged in single-use plastics, so the 'EO mini' nano mist sanitizer has been developed to offer consumers an alternative. The keychain-sized device works by being filled with water and will go to work creating a [sanitizing mist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchland-1) thanks to a tri-polar electrode unit that will react with minerals in tap water. This will help users to sanitize virtually any surface or device in an easy manner without the need for any [unwanted chemicals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-999-hydrating-hand-sanitizer). The 'EO mini' nano mist sanitizer is small enough to be easily carried anywhere and is reported to deliver up to three years of maintenance-free operation. It can be easily charged between uses with the accompanying dock. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chemical-free Sanitizers:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative sanitizing solutions that don't rely on chemicals. - **Eco-friendly Sanitizing Methods:** Opportunity for businesses to create sustainable sanitization products that reduce single-use plastic waste. - **Portable Sanitizing Devices:** Opportunity for companies to design compact and convenient sanitizing tools for on-the-go use. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for healthcare companies to introduce chemical-free sanitizers into their facilities. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics brands to develop water-powered sanitizers as an additional feature in their products. - **Travel & Hospitality:** Opportunity for travel and hospitality businesses to offer eco-friendly sanitizing options for guests to maintain cleanliness while reducing environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Water-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airsancta.md) - [Chemical-Free Produce Sterilizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-food-cleaner.md) - [Pocket Hydrator Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanohydra-pro.md) - [Hydrating Hand Santizing Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchland-power-mist-collection.md) - [Powerful UV Sanitation Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-sanitizer-wand.md) - [Accessorized Cleansing Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-cleansing-mists.md) - [Portable Waterless Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wellbeing-pod-mini.md) - [Perfume-Inspired Hand Sanitizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfumeinspired-hand-sanitizers.md) - [Sleek Toiletries Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soapstone-20.md)
