ORIGAMI WATER PURIFICATION • POWERED BY SUNLIGHT
A refugee in a disaster zone pulls a compact 6×6 inch square from their backpack, unfolds it like origami into a large surface-area reactor, places it in contaminated river water, and watches as sunlight alone transforms toxic water into clear, safe drinking water—no electricity, no chemicals to add, just folding and sun.
Photocatalytic coatings on specialized paper material trigger chemical reactions when exposed to sunlight—no pumps, no power grid needed.
6×6 inch square expands into large surface-area reactor through origami folding. Compact storage, maximum impact.
Destroy pathogens and break down contaminants in just half an hour. Faster than boiling, safer than chemical treatments.
