R&D

The company, our patent approach, scientific work and collaborations.

Company

PAKET was founded in 2024 by a team of engineers and materials scientists around a single question: is hygiene possible without water?

The team comes from mechanical design, nonwoven technologies and field logistics. The product was tested not in a lab but in caravans, on construction sites and in disaster drills.

Patent approach

The national patent filing is complete and the application is entering the international phase via PCT.

Scope of protection: the elastic cinching ring, the liquid-permeable nonwoven package and gravity-driven contact-free transfer, working together.

Technical detail will be opened progressively on this page as publication proceeds.

Scientific work

Nonwoven layer design: we optimised the balance between liquid permeability and solid retention at 45 gsm. Thinner layers leak; thicker ones slow filtration.

Odour chemistry: we measured that cutting H₂S and NH₃ emission at the source is both more effective and cheaper than filtering it afterwards.

Elastomer fatigue: the compound that keeps ring tension loss below 15% across 10,000 cycles was developed with a university partner.
