Throughout the EU, water filtration has become essential for consumers due to increasing concerns about drinking water pollution. Pesticides, PFAS, microplastics, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical residues are seeping into water supplies, and many water treatment facilities, both in Denmark and abroad, cannot remove these harmful substances. As a result, many households are choosing to invest in water filtration. But which solution is best for both you and the environment?
One of the most effective and sustainable solutions is activated carbon made from coconut shells. This natural resource is not only highly effective at filtering over 100 types of contaminants but also the only climate-neutral filtration solution on the market.
Why choose coconut-based activated carbon?
Effective filtration with high microporosity
Coconut-based activated carbon has a unique structure with high microporosity and a significantly larger surface area than other types of carbon. In block form, this type of carbon filters pesticides, PFAS, microplastics, heavy metals, and many other pollutants up to 10 times more effectively than granular carbon, ensuring clean and safe drinking water.
Clean water without aftertaste
Coconut-based carbon filtration does not affect the taste or smell of the water. Minerals like calcium and magnesium are preserved, enhancing flavor. Unlike reverse osmosis, which removes all minerals, coconut-based carbon provides a balanced and fresh taste without the ashy aftertaste that can accompany other types of carbon.
Sustainable and renewable
Coconut shells are a byproduct of coconut production and an eco-friendly source of activated carbon. Since coconut trees are harvested several times a year without felling, they represent a sustainable resource that reduces a household’s climate footprint.
Environmentally friendly production process
Coconut-based activated carbon supports an eco-friendly cycle. Coconut palms absorb CO₂ and release oxygen, and the shells are reused for water purification, reducing waste. This process makes coconut-based carbon an ideal choice for environmentally conscious families.
Compared to other solutions
Energy efficiency
Coconut-based carbon filters require no electricity, whereas reverse osmosis systems use energy-intensive pumps, lowering both electricity consumption and carbon footprint.
No water waste
Coconut-based carbon filters use all the water efficiently, unlike reverse osmosis, which wastes up to 50-80%. This is a big plus for households prioritizing sustainability.
High water pressure
Unlike reverse osmosis, coconut-based carbon filtration does not affect water pressure, making it practical and convenient for daily use.
Cost and maintenance
Coconut-based carbon filters are economical and require minimal maintenance, making them accessible and space-saving for most households.
Conclusion
Coconut-based activated carbon block filtration combines high filtration efficiency, sustainability, and affordability, ensuring clean, healthy, and great-tasting drinking water while reducing environmental impact. For those looking for a balanced, cost-effective, and practical solution, coconut-based activated carbon is the obvious choice.
