Safe drinking water is a major issue in most developing countries (4 million people die worldwide every year due to water related diseases) where improvements in its use, management and quality are greatly needed.
Marie-Claude Asselin, an undergraduate student at Université de Montréal’s School of Industrial Design, came up with a new design of the traditional jar as her final-year project: Opure.

Opure keeps clean drinking water during the whole daily task; by ensuring safe handling of drinking water from its source to consumption. There is no contamination when being filled and it protects the water from contamination during transportation and storage. Finally, Opure is used directly by end-users, helping them adopt good habits. Futhermore, since it is not a purifier, so there are no filters to change.
Interested in working with us on this project? We’re currently seeking an organization to finish its development and to distribute it.
