- Origin: Produced in Indonesia, it benefits from high quality materials and ancestral know-how, ensuring natural and effective purification.
Benefits:
- Increased Efficiency: Thanks to the exceptional density of Pelawan wood, Woody Binchotan surpasses traditional charcoals in terms of purification. It absorbs toxins, contaminants and impurities, while improving the taste and smell of the water.
- Durability: Usable for about 6 months, each piece can be regenerated by boiling, extending its lifespan and reducing waste.
- Eco-Friendly: By choosing Binchotan, you opt for a sustainable and biodegradable solution, reducing the use of disposable plastics.
Why choose binchotan activated charcoal?
Effective and Natural Purification Binchotan activated charcoal purifies water by adsorption, capturing impurities on its porous surface. It effectively removes chlorine, heavy metals and chemicals, while alkalizing the water and releasing beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Improved Taste and Smell Say goodbye to the unpleasant taste and smell of tap water. Binchotan improves the quality of your water, making it more pleasant to drink.
Economical and Durable Use an activated charcoal stick for 6 months, reducing your expenses on costly water filters and plastic bottles.
A Gesture for the Planet By choosing activated charcoal, you reduce your consumption of single-use plastic, thus contributing to the preservation of the environment.
Health Benefits Enriched with essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron, your water becomes healthier and more beneficial for your body.
What activated charcoal removes from your water
- Chlorine: Reduces the rate, taste and smell of chlorine.
- Heavy Metals: Adsorbs lead, mercury and copper.
- Chemicals: Removes pesticides, herbicides and other chemical substances.
- Organic Impurities: Retains unwanted organic matter.
- Micro-plastics: Captures micro-plastics for cleaner water.
Recycle the activated charcoal after 6 months
Don't throw away your binchotan stick after use! Here are some ideas for recycling it:
- Natural Deodorant: Place it in your shoes, refrigerator or cabinets.
- Moisture Absorber: Ideal in humid spaces.
- Plant Fertilization: Break it into small pieces and add it to your soil.
- Composting: Enrich your compost to improve water retention.
Why is Binchotan Activated Charcoal that Floats in Water of Poor Quality?
A good quality binchotan activated charcoal is dense and naturally sinks to the bottom of the water. If the stick floats, this may indicate a lower quality manufacture, with an inadequate porous structure to ensure effective adsorption of impurities. Poor quality binchotan will have reduced performance in terms of water purification, thus compromising the expected benefits. Always choose authentic and high-quality binchotan to ensure optimal water purification.
Steps of Usage and Recycling of a Binchotan Activated Charcoal
Usage Steps
- Initial Preparation
- Rinsing: Rinse the Binchotan charcoal under running water to remove dust and residues.
Activation and Sterilization: Boil the charcoal for about 10 minutes to activate and sterilize it.
Daily Use
Placement: Place the Binchotan charcoal in a carafe, a bottle, or a water tank. Use a Woody Binchotan charcoal for 1.5 liters of water.
Purification: Leave 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.
Lifespan
Continuous Use: A Binchotan charcoal can be used for about 6 months before it needs to be replaced.
End of Life: When the charcoal begins to lose its effectiveness (the water is no longer as purified), it is time to recycle it.
Lifespan Filtration Capacity: Each charcoal stick purifies up to 1.5l of water and you can alternate up to 3 cycles of 8h per charcoal per day; just put your purified water in another container after 8 hours and put water on the charcoal for another filtration cycle and so on. So you can filter up to 4.5 liters of water per day and per charcoal for 6 months for a maximum total of 810 liters.
Recycling Steps
1. Deodorant: Use the old Binchotan charcoal to absorb odors in the refrigerator, shoes, or closets.
2. Moisture Absorbent: Place the charcoal in damp places 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 compost. It improves aeration and the structure of compost, promoting faster decomposition.
Discover the exceptional properties of Tristaniopsis Obovata for the manufacture of high-quality binchotan active charcoal
The Tristaniopsis obovata, or Pelawan, stands out not only for its high density and durability, but also for its unique properties that make it an ideal material for the manufacture of high-quality activated charcoal.
Why is Tristaniopsis Obovata ideal for active charcoal?
1. High Density: The Tristaniopsis obovata has a density ranging from 800 to 1,000 kg/m³. This high density means that the wood is very compact, with low natural porosity. This allows the creation of an activated charcoal with a very developed micro-porous structure, offering an exceptional adsorption surface to capture impurities and contaminants.
2. Durability and Resistance: Thanks to its natural resistance to termites and other decomposing agents, the activated charcoal made from Tristaniopsis obovata is particularly durable. This durability results in increased longevity of activated charcoal filters, thus reducing the frequency of replacement and associated costs.
3. Purity of Material: The wood of Tristaniopsis obovata is naturally pure and does not contain unwanted additives or chemical residues. When it is transformed into activated charcoal, it offers a water filtration solution that does not release harmful substances, ensuring safe and effective water purification.
4. Microporous Structure: The manufacturing process of activated charcoal from Tristaniopsis obovata, involving high-temperature combustion followed by rapid cooling, creates an ideal microporous structure. These micropores increase the available surface area for adsorbing contaminants such as PFAS, chlorine, heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making drinking water purer and healthier.
Concrete Benefits of Activated Charcoal from Tristaniopsis Obovata
-
Filtration Efficiency: Elimination of up to 90% of PFAS and other contaminants.
-
Improvement of Water Quality: Alkalinization of water and release of beneficial minerals.
-
Environmental Durability: Reduction of plastic consumption through natural and sustainable filtration.

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 their ability to accumulate in living organisms pose serious dangers:
For Human Health:
-
Endocrine Problems: PFAS disrupt the hormonal system, causing reproductive and developmental disorders.
-
Cancer Risk: Exposure to certain PFAS is linked to an increased risk of liver, kidney, and testicular cancers.
-
Weakening of the Immune System: PFAS can decrease the immune response, making the body more vulnerable to infections and vaccines.
-
High Cholesterol: They increase blood cholesterol levels, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
For the Environment:
-
Persistent Contamination: PFAS are extremely resistant to degradation, persisting in soils and waters for decades.
-
Bioaccumulation: They accumulate in the tissues of living organisms, disrupting food chains and affecting wildlife and flora.
Extent of PFAS Pollution in Europe
PFAS pollution is a growing concern in Europe. These substances have been detected in groundwater, surface water, and even drinking water. The European Union is taking steps to limit PFAS levels in drinking water and reduce existing contamination.
