Graduate students Charles Bohning and Mary Lempres designed a collection of carbon compostable water filters. The students from Pratt Institute made the collection without any use of fossil fuels. Each filter is made from food waste, making it a sustainable design.
The range dubbed Strøm includes four pieces. Bohning and Lempres' collection features a sustainable substitute for Brita filter cartridges and purifying sticks that users can add to cups or bottles for a clean drinking experience. It also includes a self-cleaning pitcher and a carafe. All items in the collection are compostable for a sustainable disposal process. The team formulated pyrolysis and biochar components from food waste to ensure a safe decomposition of its products in landfills.
