Taking only two minutes to filter out any dirt and harmful particles, this Pure Water Bottle surpasses the long filtering process required for most [water purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasium-water-purifier). Utilizing a [four micron-sized water filter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-water-filter-pitcher) and a wind-up ultra violet light system to clean the water, the Pure Water Bottle was recently awarded the James Dyson Award in the UK. Perfect for developing societies in third world countries, this convenient container could revolutionize drinkable water. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Rapid Water Purification:** The Pure Water Bottle's two-minute water purification process presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the water purification industry. - **Compact Water Filters:** The design of the Pure Water Bottle showcases the potential for compact water filters, leading to opportunities for innovation in the filtration industry. - **Portable UV Light Systems:** The wind-up ultra violet light system used in the Pure Water Bottle opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in portable UV light technology. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Water Purification:** The Pure Water Bottle's efficient water purification process has implications for disrupting the water purification industry. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The design of the Pure Water Bottle highlights the potential for innovation in sustainable packaging solutions. - **Humanitarian Aid:** The Pure Water Bottle's potential to revolutionize drinkable water in developing societies creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the humanitarian aid industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Titanium-Made Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grayl-ultrapress-titanium-purifier.md) - [Powered Pitcher-Style Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piurify-alchemy.md) - [Water Purifier Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladislamp-disinfection.md) - [Low-Cost Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edrop-water-purifier.md) - [Personal Water-Ionizing Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piurify-hydrogenator-bottle.md) - [Five-in-One Water Filter Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitaloop-water-filtration-bottle.md) - [Automatic Water Filter Pitchers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-water-filter.md) - [Compatibly Compact Water Filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-water-filter.md) - [Bacteria-Killing Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uvc-selfcleaning-water-bottle.md)
