Evaluation

Wayout WSB is a portable beverage micro factory that can hygienically process water sources to a medical grade, and can automatically carry out all its brewing and production processes through an app on a smartphone. By producing the drinks locally, you can eliminate the use of up to 180,000 plastic pet bottles and eight tons of Co2 per month. This concept radically addresses the way food distribution and traceability ought to be, which has become a global issue. It is not only a beautiful container package that has mobilized technology to help create a sustainable society, but it can also be expected to be an environmentally friendly business with high returns.
