A US company has produced a new type of bottled water called Sky Water. This product is derived from atmospheric humidity and solar energy, allowing it to be produced in remote areas where natural water sources are limited.

The company uses an advanced technology called hydropanel. This is a water condenser that is powered by an integrated solar panel.

Ashley Hower, CEO, said Sky Water is a groundbreaking product, offering consumers a truly unique, sustainable, and unexploitative bottled water option.

Electricity from the solar panels powers a fan that draws in air and pushes it through a water-absorbing material. This material collects highly purified water from the vapor. The purified water is then enriched with minerals to give it a normal taste.

The company's water bottles are manufactured at a factory in Florida. Thousands of hydraulic plates at the factory extract water on an industrial scale from the humidity of the air. Each can of water costs $1.49.

Because they generate their own electricity, hydroelectric panels can be used to provide clean water to communities and residents in areas without electricity grids or reliable clean water sources.

According to company representatives, the solar panels can extract water even in extremely dry conditions. The company produces water year-round in Arizona, despite it being an arid region.

This technology helps alleviate the water shortages that a large portion of the global population faces at certain times.

According to statistics, the global bottled water market generated $300 billion in revenue last year and is expected to continue growing this decade. Bottled water relies primarily on groundwater from rivers, streams, and lakes. This is a finite resource that can be depleted through over-exploitation.

Since 1993, scientists estimate that more than 2,150 gigatons of groundwater have been pumped from the earth. Many experts believe that global demand for freshwater will continue to increase as both the quantity and quality of water continue to decline.

Bottled water from air would be a groundbreaking product in the industry, utilizing sustainable extraction methods.

Why are the new bottle cap designs inconvenient, yet Europe is still forced to make them? The new type of plastic bottle with non-separable caps appeared in Europe this summer. Some consumers find it inconvenient and question why this is causing further trouble.
