Rather than bring new water to a crisis, HydroPacks usea special membrane that blocks out contaminants,

including the bacteria and viruses that pollutecommunity water in disaster situations.

Good Hydration

W a t e r a l o n e i s r a r e l y e n o u g h .Clean water is the priority in a water crisis. But having nutrients when food is scarcecan be just as important.

Inside each pouch are nutrient and electrolyte powdersthat mix to create an energy-rich hydration drink that

can make a di�erence in life-and-death situations.

HydroPacks can be repurposed. The pouch’s cellulose-basedmembrane lights easily and burns slowly. With a membrane

that burns cleaner than wood, the HydroPack is an ideal �re starter after its use for a more eco-friendly aftermath.

H y d r o P a c k s u s e a n a t u r a l p r o c e s s .Like a plant’s membrane bringing clean water into its roots,

the pouch’s membrane uses forward osmosis to draw water innaturally and without electricity, chemicals or maintenance.

7% the Space

H y d r o P a c k s a r e t h e e f f e c t i v e s o l u t i o n .Because HydroPacks are shipped empty, the storage and deliveryprocess is much more e�cient, much less expensive and muchbetter targeted against our current bottled water solution.
