27th Aug 2024 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India BookWater is the world’s first IoT-powered water delivery platform. BookWater aims to provide access to affordable, sustainable, and quality water by using modern technology while protecting the environment. Overuse of the same water can cause microplastic contamination resulting in the degradation of the water quality for the consumers. With today’s growing economy and climate change several other factors such as prolonged exposure to sunlight, formation of fungi and algae on the can and usage of expired cans contribute to unsafe drinking water that can cause serious health issues.
To solve this issue, BookWater has come up with a concept called C-O-N-N-E-C-T-E-D CAN where,
- Water cans are ISI-certified
- Water cans are tracked using a unique QR code at every point at the supply chain.
- IoT sensors are used to monitor the bottling of the cans 24/7
- Water cans are marked for ‘end of life’ after 30 uses.
After the cans circulate 30 times, BookWater makes sure to never use the same cans again as they hinder with a healthy lifestyle. To prevent it, the cans are recycled and made into fabrics that are useful while eliminating the destruction of the environment by not dumping them in landfills which take years to decompose.
