Filtering Drinking Water with Nanofibers

Liquidity, an Alameda, California-based startup, has developed a low-cost water filter made from nanofibers that it hopes will reduce water-borne diseases in poor countries. A version designed for the developed world, Naked Filter, attaches to a plastic water bottle. Its membrane of electrospun nanofibers allows water to pass through it quickly.

how do you recycle the filters? can it be dissolved naturally? do not forget, what in the 3rd world countries people do not have sophisticated recycling infrastructure.

[@allesvertig]

can you make a version of this for tap water or for faucet use.

i thought water does not have the capacity to go through nanofibers ???
