KURO-Bo100% Eco-Friendly Reusable 1L Glass Bottle with Activated Charcoal Natural Filter Koins

About

Why schlep home with plastic bottles of mineral water or install expensive filtration systems, when you can make it yourself? Anytime. In anything. For a fraction of the cost - to your pocket and the planet!

Since ancient times, the Japanese created Binchotan, activated charcoal in its natural form (think organic black metallic branches!) that could fertilize soil, remove odours, and purify drinking water. What started out as a byproduct of cooking, became a useful item in its own right. Many years and several continents away, Darrin and Camilla Morrisby were going through many plastic filters per year, and knew there had to be a better way.

They discovered Binchotan, and something clicked for them. They connected with a producer who makes it in the traditional way, by exposing wood first to very low temperatures, then temperatures of up to 1200ºC, which causes the wood pores to enlarge, and the wood carbonises and activates its unique properties. The charcoal is removed from the kiln after around 2 weeks, then covered in a mixture of earth, sand and ash, giving it a temporary white colour, and its alternative name - white charcoal. Once cooled, it is hand cut and ready for use. This was the birthplace of Kuro-Bo Activated Charcoal Water Filters.
