Plant raw materials are used in the production of bioplastic or it is biodegradable with the help of microorganisms. The growth of bioplastics production reduces dependence on petroleum products. The biggest advantages: Reduces trace impurities such as certain herbicides, pesticides and pharmaceuticals**. Reduces chlorine, lime scale*** lead and copper. Even denser mesh to trap fine particles (≥ 0.03 mm). 50% bioplastic was used for the production of the filter body. BRITA MICRO CARBON PEARLS are made from natural coconut shell carbon.
