GILAS by MUSTHAV: safe glasses, zero plastic

The earth wrapped in discarded plastic bottles and cups

The problem

Used for a minute. Littered for centuries.

Single-use plastic tumblers are handed out at every water point, canteen and celebration, and most end up in bins, drains and landfill.

Two bad choices at every water point.

Where many people drink from one water source, there are usually only two options. Both fail the people who are most at risk.

Option 1The plastic tumblerUsed for a minute, littered for centuries. Banned in many places, still handed out everywhere.
Option 2The shared tumblerRinsed in a bucket, or not at all. One glass passed between many mouths, where children and patients gather.
With GILASA clean glass for every personWater from a contact-free dispenser, in a steel glass that’s cleaned and disinfected after every use. No plastic, no guesswork.

Where it matters most

Where hygiene can’t slip.

All use cases

GILAS

Water dispenser and glass cleaner, in one.

GILAS turns any water point into a closed loop. Press a button for drinking water in a sanitised steel glass, drink, and put it back. GILAS then cleans and disinfects that glass for the next person in about 60 seconds, with no staff needed.

  • Contact-free water

    One press fills a freshly disinfected steel glass. No shared tap handles, no shared tumbler.

  • Disinfected every time

    Pending validation

    Three-stage cleaning finishes with UV-C disinfection, designed to cut pathogens by 99.9% before the next person drinks.

  • Plastic tumblers, gone

    Pending validation

    One durable steel glass replaces thousands of single-use plastic tumblers a year.

  • Works where hygiene is hardest

    Pending validation

    The portable variant needs no water line, drain or trained staff. It runs from a wall socket in a classroom corridor, a ward or a wedding tent.

How it works

Dispense. Return. Clean.

One closed loop: every glass is cleaned and disinfected before anyone drinks from it again. Cycle timing is a design target pending validation.

  1. 1

    Stage 1: Dispense

    Contact-free

    Press a button and a sanitised steel glass fills with drinking water.

  2. 2

    Stage 2: Drink & return

    Any time

    Drink, then place the glass back into GILAS.

  3. 3

    Stage 3: Clean & disinfect

    ~60s

    Spray wash, ultrasonic cleaning and UV-C disinfection, then it’s ready again.

What people say

Trusted where it matters most.

“Our children used to share two tumblers at the water point. Now every child gets a clean glass, and there are no plastic cups in the playground.”
