The PUR Packet 2

The PUR Packet is a quick, simple and easily transportable way to clean dirty water.

It is an amazing innovation that quickly turns 10 liters of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean and drinkable water. Because it is much smaller and easier to ship than plastic water bottles, anyone anywhere in the world can easily use it.

The PUR packet was developed by Procter and Gamble (P&G) in collaboration with the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Created to enable people anywhere in the world to purify dirty water in a simpler, more affordable and convenient way, the PUR packet is based on technology similar to municipal water systems in developed countries.
