Q/A for Glacier Fresh Compostable Filters
Material and Environmental Impact
Q: How should this material be disposed of?
A: This material should ideally be composted at an industrial facility to fully leverage its biodegradable properties. The instructions will be included in the instruction manual of the packaging. If it is not composted and instead incinerated or landfilled, it will not be harmful, unlike conventional plastics.
Q: What happens to the filter after it biodegrades?
A: It breaks down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass, leaving no harmful residue. This process is validated by ensuring earthworm survival in the compost, indicating the safety and non-toxicity of the decomposition products.
Q: Is the filter made from 100% natural substances?
A: The Activated Carbon is made of 100% renewable Sri Lankan Coconut Shells. The housing of the filter material is made of over 50% from natural, renewable resources, with the remaining part being petroleum-based. After the successful launch of the 1st generation next year we will roll out the exterior shell from 100% natural and renewable sources.
Q: Can this filter be introduced into home composting?
A: It's designed for industrial composting to ensure complete degradation. We recommend following local guidelines for disposal to maximize its environmental benefits.
Filtration Performance and Compatibility
Q: How does the filtration performance compare to traditional filters?
A: Our biodegradable filter matches the performance of traditional filters in removing impurities, ensuring users can enjoy clean water without compromising on environmental values.
Q: Which modes are available?
A: We have developed one for the Brita pitcher and 10 models of for different fridge brands. We are open to extend to other models with the support of launch partners.
