Sign upPURA Inverse Osmosis
Water purifier using inverse osmosis technology to reduce plastic bottles usage for drinking water
01.
Identification
Around 1.000.000 plastic bottles are bought worldwide per second, and less than 50% is recycled, which generates a big pollution in ecosystems, mainly maritime, and ends up affecting humans, for example by the intake of microplastic particles found in tap water. Argentina, where there was not another option as bottled water to obtain mineral water, is also the country with the biggest proportion of natural water affected by Arsenic. PURA Inverse Osmosis, a non-bottled mineral water plant tech, removes 99.9% of contaminants such as Arsenic, Fluorine, Heavy Metals, Chlorine and its derivatives, remains of agrochemicals, glyphosate, among other impurities. PURA Inverse Osmosis provides access to quality water to its users, being a great solution also for vulnerable populations.
