The company has developed a plastic water container that can be filled with four litres of water and placed in the sun for four hours. Through UV radiation and heat from the sun, the water is purified of bacteria, after which the user can drink the water and reuse the bag for new water purification. So far, the bag has been tested in refugee camps in Kenya and Uganda.   <\/p>\n<p>SolarSack recently won the 360 Degrees Award from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danskerhverv.dk\/\">Dansk Erhverv<\/a>, which is presented to companies that promote the UN\u2019s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and was also nominated this year for a Danish Design Award and the Plastics Award for their product.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_right&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204648&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;94967&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;181222&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;318002&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771939284069{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;209440&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;137274&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Is your production setup a limitation\u2014or a strength?<br \/>\nAnd are there new opportunities?<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fam-hub.dk%2Fteamet%2F|title:Meet%20the%20team|&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;151971&#8243; el_class=&#8221;c2a-btn&#8221; button_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]Contact us today[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;184735&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771939257362{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shadow=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;451755&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-solid&#8221; back_color_solid=&#8221;#0903d4&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-column&#8221;][vc_column_text text_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;171458&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-with-check&#8221; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: white !important;\">Results from programmes with Dansk AM Hub<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Faster iteration<\/li>\n<li>Lower development costs<\/li>\n<li>Lower risk<\/li>\n<li>New opportunities to expand the market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;609024&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;865753&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Faster and more cost-effective product development<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SolarSack has participated in AM HYBRID, where the company has further developed its product.
