What if we could clean up our environment, entirely bio-based?
Willwater is a willow bark based water filter that filters out contaminates that bio-accumulate, meaning staying in an animal or human. It filters out BPA and zinc.
During this project I experimented with the creation of a bio-based water filter, both in terms of filter as well as container.
Process based on paper by Jinze et al. 2023
The Willwater filter was made out of a coffee mixture and an alternative was created using an Agar Agar mixture, due to the moldability and (temporary) water retention (see previous page). For proposed usage see below.
