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.

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

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.
