About Aquacendo Bottiglia per l'acqua
Aquacendo è una borraccia con filtro dotata di una funzione di illuminazione integrata. Il filtro elimina il 99,99 percento di batteri, microrganismi e altri agenti contaminanti. Il tappo ospita una luce LED alimentata a energia solare che si irradia verso l'interno, così l'acqua contenuta nella bottiglia diffonde la luce su un'area più ampia. Sono disponibili tre modalità di illuminazione: luminosità bassa, luminosità elevata e segnale lampeggiante. Tappo, maniglia e corpo della bottiglia sono intercambiabili. La bottiglia è realizzata in RPET riciclabile, con componenti in silicone e rivestiti in silicone. Due formati contengono 560 e 915 millilitri.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Its innovation lies in the design, which cleverly combines the basic living and health needs of children in impoverished areas, increasing the product's usage frequency and making it a truly practical and valuable tool. The cap integrates a solar-powered LED light, and the unique idea of using water to help scatter the light more effectively makes it both distinctive and interesting. It’s truly one of a kind.

- Production Technology
- Aside from ensuring the basic filtration performance, how to give this bottle a lighting function is one of our challenges. We’ve tried spotlights, flashlights, and more. After continuous experimentation, we eventually found that the solution was to have the light emit inward and then use the water inside the bottle to help expand the light’s range. It’s really effective and visually beautiful.
- Design Challenge
- We make every effort to use sustainable materials, in line with our commitment to the SDGs. The Aquacendo is made from recyclable RPET material, while the rest of the components are made from eco-friendly silicone or silicone-coated materials.Finally, its modular design and color options make it adaptable for expanding into other scenarios, such as hiking in the wilderness. This flexibility also helps support our "Buy One, Give One" business model.
- Research
- According to statistics, a child dies every eight seconds due to a lack of clean drinking water. In third-world countries, 80% of the population cannot access safe drinking water. Moreover, due to the lack of basic electricity infrastructure in remote areas, as night falls, children's basic needs, travel, and even studying become increasingly difficult.
- Inspiration
- According to statistics, a child dies every eight seconds due to a lack of clean drinking water. In third-world countries, 80% of the population cannot access safe drinking water. Moreover, due to the lack of basic electricity infrastructure in remote areas, as night falls, children’s basic needs, travel, and even studying become increasingly difficult. These two issues often occur together and represent the most urgent life-sustaining needs.
- Project Duration
- The project started in early 2024 and completed its mold trial production by the end of the year. In December, a partnership was established with a charitable organization, and the first batch of LightUp Filtered Bottles was shipped to Burkina Faso, Africa. A donation reception ceremony was held by the local government. The product has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with local children specifically praising how it has significantly improved their daily lives by providing them with a reliable source of clean water.
- Operation Flow
- The filter has been reliably tested in laboratories and can remove 99.99% of bacteria, microorganisms, and other contaminants. Aquacendo’s design takes modularity into account, For instance, the cap, handle, and even the bottle body are interchangeable, making it extremely flexible. We have set up three lighting modes: "Low brightness, High brightness, and SOS flashing signal," making it perfect.
