US-based ROK Stars PLC, a consumer goods and environmental technologies development company, has announced a solar-powered water purifying and cooking system, PURE ROK.
It is estimated that 1.1 billion people in developing countries lack regular access to clean water, leading to nearly 6,000 people dying every day of diseases associated with the consumption of polluted water.
Designed to help tackle the global drinking water crisis, PURE ROK is a portable and highly efficient all-in-one water purifying and cooking system that heats water in less than two hours to temperatures that kill off the harmful bacteria that breed in contaminated water. In addition, the system consists of individual stainless steel cooking trays, allowing people to cook food without having to use wood, coal, gas or electricity.
