A team of London-based designers from BU Home wanted to create a new reusable water bottle that eliminates the use of disposable plastic, as much as possible. They also wanted their bottles to have a filter for the water, but filters, which are usually charcoal-based, are normally encased in plastic, which is thrown away. So they developed a more natural solution that has a charred piece of bamboo suspended inside the bottle.
According to the designers, the bamboo charcoal filter removes chemicals and bad odors from tap water. It’s a similar idea to what BRITA filters do, except this design doesn’t involve throwing away plastic.
You fill the bottle like you would with any other water bottle. The water filters through the replaceable charcoal bamboo stick, before flowing into the bottle, ready to drink.
