Woody Binchotan Activated Charcoal

Transform every glass of tap water into a pure and refreshing drink with Woody’s Binchotan activated charcoal water filter.
Binchotan charcoal has been renowned for centuries for its exceptional water purification properties. Made from hardwood branches, burned at extremely high temperatures (1200°C) and then rapidly cooled, it develops a porous structure that effectively removes impurities and contaminants.

Key Features:

• Artisanal Craftsmanship: Each piece is carefully handcrafted by Widha, ensuring premium quality through traditional techniques.

• Material: Made from Pelawan wood (Tristaniopsis Obovata), known for its high density, which maximizes filtration efficiency and enhances impurity absorption.

• Origin: Produced in Indonesia, combining high-quality raw materials with ancestral expertise for natural and effective purification.

Benefits:

• Superior Efficiency: Thanks to the exceptional density of Pelawan wood, Woody Binchotan outperforms traditional charcoal in purification capacity. It absorbs toxins, contaminants, and impurities while enhancing water’s taste and odor.

• Long-Lasting: Each stick can be used for about 6 months. It can be reactivated by boiling, prolonging its lifespan and reducing waste.

• Eco-Friendly: 100% natural and biodegradable, Binchotan offers a sustainable alternative that reduces reliance on disposable plastic filters.

Why Choose Binchotan Activated Charcoal?

• Natural & Effective Purification – Binchotan charcoal purifies water through adsorption, trapping impurities on its porous surface. It removes chlorine, heavy metals, and chemicals while naturally alkalizing water and releasing beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

• Improved Taste & Odor – Say goodbye to unpleasant tap water taste and smell. Binchotan makes your water fresher and more enjoyable to drink.

• Economical & Sustainable – One stick lasts up to 6 months, saving money on expensive filters and bottled water.

• Good for the Planet – By using Binchotan, you reduce single-use plastic consumption, helping preserve the environment.

• Health Benefits – Enriched with essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, your drinking water becomes healthier and more nourishing for your body.

What Binchotan Removes from Your Water:

• Chlorine: Reduces chlorine levels, taste, and odor.

• Heavy Metals: Adsorbs lead, mercury, and copper.

• Chemicals: Removes pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful substances.

• Organic Impurities: Traps undesirable organic matter.

• Microplastics: Captures microplastics for cleaner, safer water.

Recycling Binchotan After 6 Months

Don’t throw away your used Binchotan stick! Repurpose it with ease:

• Natural Deodorizer: Place in shoes, fridge, or closets.

• Moisture Absorber: Useful in damp spaces.

• Plant Fertilizer: Break into pieces and mix into soil.

• Composting: Enriches compost and improves water retention.

Why Does Poor-Quality Binchotan Float?

Authentic, high-quality Binchotan charcoal is dense and naturally sinks in water. If it floats, this may indicate lower-quality production with insufficient porosity for effective adsorption. Poor-quality charcoal reduces purification efficiency and compromises results. Always choose genuine, high-density Binchotan for optimal water purification.

How to Use Woody Binchotan

Initial Preparation:

• Rinse: Rinse the Binchotan stick under running water to remove dust and residues.

• Activation & Sterilization: Boil the charcoal for about 10 minutes to activate and sterilize it.

2. Daily Use
   Placement: Place the Binchotan charcoal in a carafe, bottle, or water container. Use one Woody Binchotan stick for 1.5 liters of water.

• Purification: Allow the charcoal to work for at least 6 to 8 hours (ideally overnight) to purify the water.
  Maintenance: Rinse the charcoal every 2 to 4 weeks and boil it for 10 minutes to regenerate and maintain its effectiveness.
  

3. Lifespan
   Continuous Use: A Binchotan charcoal stick can be used for about 6 months before needing replacement.

• End of Life: When the charcoal starts losing its effectiveness (the water is no longer as purified), it is time to recycle it.

  Lifespan & Filtration Capacity
  Each stick of Binchotan charcoal purifies up to 1.5 liters of water and can be used for up to 3 filtration cycles of 8 hours per day. Simply transfer the purified water to another container after 8 hours and refill with fresh water for a new cycle.
  👉 This means you can filter up to 4.5 liters of water per day per stick for 6 months, giving a total maximum capacity of 810 liters of purified water.

  Recycling Steps

1. Deodorizer: Use the old Binchotan charcoal to absorb odors in the refrigerator, shoes, or closets.

2. Moisture Absorber: Place the charcoal in damp areas to absorb excess moisture.

3. Plant Fertilizer: Crush the old charcoal and mix it with potting soil to improve soil quality and water retention.

4.Composting: Add the used Binchotan charcoal to your compost. It improves aeration and structure, promoting faster decomposition.

Discover the Exceptional Properties of Tristaniopsis Obovata for High-Quality Binchotan Activated Charcoal

Tristaniopsis obovata, also known as Pelawan, stands out not only for its high density and durability but also for its unique properties, making it the ideal material for producing premium-grade activated Binchotan charcoal.

Why is Tristaniopsis Obovata Ideal for Activated Charcoal?

1. High Density
   Tristaniopsis obovata has a density ranging from 800 to 1,000 kg/m³. This high density means the wood is extremely compact with naturally low porosity. Once carbonized, it forms a highly microporous structure, providing an exceptional adsorption surface for capturing impurities and contaminants.

2. Durability and Resistance
   Naturally resistant to termites and other agents of decomposition, Binchotan charcoal made from Tristaniopsis obovata is exceptionally durable. This translates into longer-lasting activated charcoal filters, reducing replacement frequency and overall costs.

3. Material Purity
   The wood of Tristaniopsis obovata is naturally pure and free from harmful additives or unwanted chemical residues. When transformed into activated charcoal, it delivers safe, non-toxic water purification without releasing harmful substances.

4. Microporous Structure
   The carbonization process—burning at high temperatures followed by rapid cooling—creates an ideal microporous structure. These micropores dramatically increase the surface area available to adsorb contaminants such as PFAS, chlorine, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making drinking water cleaner and healthier.

Concrete Benefits of Binchotan from Tristaniopsis Obovata

• Filtration Efficiency: Removes up to 90% of PFAS and other contaminants.

• Improved Water Quality: Naturally alkalizes water and releases beneficial minerals.

• Environmental Sustainability: Reduces plastic consumption by offering a natural and durable filtration method.

Protect Your Health with Woody Binchotan Activated Charcoal

Dangers of PFAS Pollution
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals commonly used for their non-stick, water-resistant, and grease-resistant properties. Their persistence in the environment and ability to accumulate in living organisms pose serious threats:

For Human Health:

• Endocrine Disruption: PFAS interfere with the hormonal system, causing reproductive and developmental issues.

• Cancer Risk: Exposure to certain PFAS has been linked to increased risks of liver, kidney, and testicular cancers.

• Weakened Immune System: PFAS can reduce immune response, making the body more vulnerable to infections and lowering vaccine effectiveness.

• High Cholesterol: PFAS raise blood cholesterol levels, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

For the Environment:

• Persistent Contamination: PFAS are extremely resistant to degradation, remaining in soil and water for decades.

• Bioaccumulation: They accumulate in the tissues of living organisms, disrupting food chains and threatening wildlife and ecosystems.

PFAS Pollution in Europe
PFAS contamination is a growing concern in Europe. These substances have been detected in groundwater, surface water, and even drinking water. The European Union is implementing stricter measures to limit PFAS levels in drinking water and reduce existing contamination.

Activated Charcoal Filtration Effectiveness Against PFAS
Activated charcoal is a proven solution for reducing PFAS in drinking water.
