‘Wa Sa’ is made using sustainable materials. The earthenware clay shell is recyclable and the ‘bowl’ housing itself is made from soy wax with a thing layer of clear protective epoxy. When the product reaches the end of its life, the design allows the user to easily disassemble the product: allowing for easy access to other recyclable components.
