BU Water is a premium designed reusable water bottle that keeps you hydrated wherever you go, without costing the planet. BU eliminated all unnecessary features and utilised bamboo, boasting a 100% natural lid and filter, minimising the use of plastic.
How it works
The charcoaling process opens up millions of tiny pores within the bamboo’s structure creating a huge surface area of activated charcoal with countless bonding sites. Chemicals from the water are then attracted to these sites where they become trapped.

Bad odours and chemicals such as Chlorine are adsorbed by the filter whilst it simultaneously releases minerals such as potassium and magnesium back into the water creating a crisp and silky taste.
Using traditional Japanese methods, the activated charcoal filter is made by simply cutting a piece of bamboo to size and placing it in a kiln. The designers at BU have also made the lid from bamboo, the fastest growing plant on the planet, in order to limit the use of plastic and all unnecessary features.
