Abstract
G-Filters can contribute to the circular economy by promoting sustainable water management practices. G-Filters provide gravity based filtration and an affordable clay ceramic solution for household water treatment in India. These filters are made from clayey soils with organic pore forming material. As a result, ceramic water filters (CWF) reduce the need for expensive water treatment facilities and the associated energy and resource consumption. G-Filters can be easily cleaned and reused, reducing the amount of waste generated by single-use water filters. They can also be reused a porous irrigation vessels (PIV) for desalting soils. This contributes to the circular economy by promoting resource efficiency and minimizing waste. Furthermore, G-Filters can also help promote local economic development by using locally-sourced materials and manufacturing processes, and creating job opportunities for local communities. By incorporating G-Filters into water management practices, we can move towards a more sustainable and circular water economy.
