Wooden base to elevate the Ecofiltro filter. Easy access to the tap, stability, and elegance.
For Ecofiltro 20L
Wooden stand to elevate the Ecofiltro water filter, allowing easy access to the spout tap. This stand has been hand-cut using a laser. It is designed to provide perfect stability and an elegant design to your 20L Ecofiltro.
It allows you to place the Ecofiltro anywhere without risk.
Without this base, it is preferable to place the Ecofiltro on the edge of a flat surface, to easily use the water in a glass or a bottle directly below the tap.The shape and texture of the wood will bring a warm atmosphere to your interior and perfectly adapt to the curves of the Ecofiltro steel containers. Since wood is a natural product, the color and texture may vary from the photos.
ECOFILTRO
The adventure begins with Dr. Fernando Mazariegos in Guatemala in the 1990s. He is tasked by the IDB (Inter-American Development Bank) to find a simple, sustainable, and economical way to purify water for the populations of Latin America who do not have access to this vital resource.
He observes indigenous populations a lot and makes it a point to use local resources and technologies. After numerous trials in his research center, he developed the Ecofiltro filter: "we did not invent filtration, but we worked on technological development applied to the use of materials and substances that enhance the process."
Due to its simplicity and low cost, it quickly gains popularity; however, the project, funded solely by donations, cannot develop. That is why, in 2000, Ecofiltro became a socially responsible non-profit organization that contributes to improving living and health conditions while combating environmental pollution from plastic.
A few years later, in 2009, the organization transformed into a socially responsible company and expanded its production to other regions of the world. The profits generated in wealthier countries allowed for access to purified water in regions that could not afford it.
Between 2014 and 2022, this operation allowed for the distribution of 33,751 Ecofiltros to 6,210 schools.
In 2020, the company obtained BCorp certification, a recognition of all their efforts made to combat the consequences of climate change and their unwavering social and environmental commitment.
*BCorp is one of the most important labels that certifies companies aiming for a benefit for all, socially, environmentally, and economically, with full transparency towards the public.
Today, Ecofiltro is present worldwide and continues its fight for ecological, economical, plastic-free access to 100% pure filtered water.
