About

Avia Revivi, a graduate of the Industrial Design department at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.

I was born and raised in Jerusalem, a city with a unique character. Ever since I can remember, I have loved engaging in art and crafts. As a teenager, I studied art at the Israel Museum and enjoyed taking discarded furniture from the streets and giving them a new life. In school, I often found myself spending hours in the art room instead of sitting in class, and in the evenings, I volunteered with my friends to distribute food to underprivileged families through an organization I am still involved with today.

Nature has always been my safe haven, and after completing my military service, I embarked on a solitary hikes along Israel's trails, trekking across the country for two months. Since then, I've been on many more hikes in Israel and around the world. It is during these journeys that I found inspiration and motivation to return home and create.

O-SOW is a sustainable biodegradable toilet paper substitute, made from orange, aloe vera leaves, and plant seeds. Intended for hikers who want to make a difference in the field of sustainability, the product adopts a preventive waste hierarchy that includes the complete cycle – production, use, and disposal. The use of the product sets in motion a sowing and fertilization process of various plant seeds incorporated in O-SOW. The product biodegrades quickly thanks to the decomposition of the orange and the active E. coli bacteria in the feces.
