This original bag avoids losing water while waiting for it to get hot.
No matter how much technical advancement there is, like faucets with built-in thermostat, there is always an extra time that goes from when the tap is turned on until the water comes out at the ideal temperature for showering.
In those seconds the amount of water that goes down the drain is about 3 to 6 liters, approximately. If we average between the two quantities and multiply 4,5 liters x 360 days x 40 million people suppose that each year in Spain some 64.800 million liters.
Surely there is more than one conscientious citizen, aware of these calculations (more or less tight), already takes its own measures to take advantage of such amount of water, how to collect this water to water the plants, for example.
Starting to shower as soon as you turn on the tap is a solution. Víctor Pinto thought of her when his son asked him one day where all that water was going while he was waiting to shower. Although he quickly dismissed it when he thought about the consequences for the boy's health, Especially in winter, (and in the mother's refusal of the proposal).
Another solution was to collect all that water and then use it to water the plants., water pets or anything else. «It can be done with bottles, with a cube ... But it is uncomfortable because a cube takes up space, drips on the floor ». This option had to be rethought.
Along with Javier Esteve, Victor devised a bottle design capable of collecting up to 3,5 liters of water and that afterwards it could be transported and allowed to reuse the water as comfortably as possible. This is how esferic was born, a bag that, In addition, it's a folding shower.
«It is made of TPU, a thermoplastic polyurethane. It is the most ecological plastic that exists in the market, the most resistant and durable. And it can be recycled in the yellow plastic container », explains Pinto.
The project is now seeking financing for a possible international expansion. Suso Chulvi is in charge of that part in spheric. Also to look for companies that are committed to sustainability in their CSR policy.
«Two large companies are already using the #BolsaDelAgua although we can only mention the one that has begun to carry out public actions, what is Acciona Agua », Chulvi points out.
moment, The only way to get the esferic bags is through the esferic.com website., although Víctor assures that negotiations are already being carried out with large distributors to sell them in their stores.
