Our Mission
Deploying our technology to drive industrial performance and secure resilient water access globally.
Increase the drinking water supply on Earth.
SORBAIR Mission Statement
No Water - No Life
-
2.2 Billion Suffer Water Stress
1 in 4 people worldwide currently lack safely managed drinking water.
-
Growing Scarcity
By 2050, up to 5.7 billion people could be living in areas where water is scarce for at least one month a year.
-
Critical Zones
Southern Europe and the MENA region are forming a permanent belt of critical water stress.
High Cost & Uneven Access
-
Desalination is unsustainable
Requires high energy input and creates a high environmental burden.
-
150 million m³ of waste
Flushed into the sea every single day as toxic brine waste product of deslaintion plants.
-
Inland regions left behind
Low-income regions and areas far from the coast have no viable solutions. Today ~70% of global desalination capacity is located on the coast in the MENA region.
Performant & Sustainable Water Harvesting
-
Unlocking Passive Water Harvesting
Our material releases water at just 60°C, enabling fully passive devices powered by simple solar heat.
-
No Performance Plateau
Unlike incumbents, Hygrocarbon continues to absorb water at high humidity, ensuring maximum yield per harvesting cycle.
-
Resilient Supply
A supply chain based on organic raw materials allows for low-cost, global deployment for water-stressed regions.
