Company details

What does it do?

Red Button Design Ltd is an internationally award winning, for-profit, social enterprise. We established in 2007 in order to design, manufacture and supply products exclusively for the humanitarian market. The inspiration behind the company was to design instantly effective interim solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems. By doing so, we hope to mobilise the resources of international aid agencies away from ‘fire fighting’ missions long enough to implement truly sustainable infrastructure. Accordingly, the name “Red Button Design” is derived from the idea of an ‘emergency stop button’. Our flagship product is Midomo (formerly referred to as ‘ROSS’ or the ‘Reverse Osmosis Sanitation System’) Midomo, is a household-level water transport, purification and storage solution to be purchased by humanitarian organisations and deployed for use by individuals throughout the developing world. The device uses an internal filter system, powered by the rotation of the wheels, to transform harmful water to drinkable water on-the-go. A user would roll the unit to the nearest source of water, fill the 50 litre tank, and roll it home. Once home, the water drawn from the unit is potable to World Health Organisation standards.

Red Button Design is currently using our basic listing service and so has a limited profile on the site.
