They manufacture eco-friendly drums with pack-in-box technology that guarantees clean water
Young inventor Jessica Lora chose to create this design with low cost and health assurance.
Jessica Lora Del Rio, a young inventor, has developed an eco-friendly water can with a flexible bag-in-box laminated bag with her family in Lambeau. a box) which keeps the liquid organ intact. The project was funded by the ProInnóvate program of the Ministry of Production and is now being successfully marketed in a city in the north of the country.
The project—started with her father Martin Lora Guerrero before the pandemic—has a 22-liter polyethylene barrel design with technology. Bag in box (bag in a box), that is, it has a flexible laminated bag inside and an anti-drip valve with a safety seal, which keeps the water pure, thus guaranteeing a healthy product for people.
This is how he made it known Andean AgencyYoung Innovator from Lambeau during the event “Innovating Peru: ProInnóvate: 16 years promoting competitiveness and productivity”. Anniversary of ProInnovateFrom the Ministry of Production.
“When we started, we tried to have a container that follows the same dynamics as a water can, which people know and can consume, but which is more resistant and harmless,” says Jessica Lora.
He also asserts that the water drums he is selling in the market are made of polycarbonate material and its components contain a substance known as bisphenol-A which is harmful to people’s health. He decided to make a bet with his family to create this drum with technological innovations that included technology in the packaging process. Bag in box.
Eco-friendly product
Prototyping and validation of the product was achieved thanks to the support of the ProInnovate project Winner of the Business Innovation and Innovation Validation Competition. In the last 16 years, this innovation scheme has funded 6,135 technology projects with an investment of Rs 886,000 crore.
This is how Agua Natural Viva Más was born from Procesadora Bebidas del Norte, now successfully marketed in the city of Lambayeque and attracting the interest of large companies.
Unlike traditional polycarbonate drums, this polyethylene barrel is recyclable and has a sanitary life of up to 6 months. Commitment to circular economy.
“When they ask us for a new water can, we bring a full water can and get it empty. The 22 liter drum can be used up to a thousand times, Let’s say it can be changed up to a thousand times, and the change is Pi. “We have been able to develop our own bag machine to produce continuously without the need to import them and fully manage the waste,” he pointed out.
This way, the young woman says, no one can fill the barrel with water because they have to own the machines they have, thus protecting the safety and harmlessness of the product.
According to Lora, normally a can of water in Lumpeg is 10 to 15 feet. The product they developed is priced at 12 soles in the market.
“We are much cheaper than a box of water, and 2 liters extra, because this barrel holds 22 liters. We are currently selling it in Lumpeg, but big companies are interested and we are still in talks with them. We are loyal to our product and the idea is that we ourselves can reach Lima and other regions and start marketing,” he concludes.
