Kuro-Bo is a Cape Town brand founded in 2017, offering Africa’s first 100% plastic-free, natural, recyclable water filter. Their product is a Binchotan — a Japanese activated charcoal stick — that naturally filters and mineralises drinking water when placed in a glass bottle.

Simply drop the charcoal stick into your water and let it work its magic — it absorbs impurities while releasing beneficial minerals. Each stick lasts for months, making it an eco-friendly alternative to plastic filter jugs and bottled water.
