Not seen them before tbh! Looks quite interesting but I'd imagine making sure it's clean would be a palava? These days i'm pretty much just v60 with unbleached filters and awaaaaaay
To clean it, you just rinse it in hot water and if at some point (month+) it does need something more then just have it sit in boiled water for a bit.
I should have added these 2 clips before, but.... here they are:

Seen several various brewers like this over the years. Not bought one yet as the thought of cleaning them out just puts me right off. Also, I regularly change what coffee I use (occasionally daily) so having to do a deep clean each time would really annoy me.

This might help, personally, i will stick with paper.
If you go to the cleaning part....the amount of energy require to clean this properly will be more carbon footprint than paper.
1 - You can't scrub it, because it will retain any material and fabric
2 - You can't dry it with a towel, because it will retain material
3 - You can't use detergent
4 - I suspect it will trap skin as you rub it with your fingers when cleaning....yum!
5 - James Hoffmann suggests inverting it and put it on a gas stove to burn off all the residue and carbon...great use of energy!
6 - You can make only use really hot water to rinse it and will need a lot of it since you can’t scrub it.
Nice idea, terrible in practice is my conclusion.

Yes I don't see what is wrong with unbleached, biodegradable paper filters in a 5 quid V60. Convenient, sustainable, makes a good cup!

This. It's my 'gotowakemeup' brew method 1st thing in the morning for a few years now.
Have to say I do prefer the oxygen bleached papers. Need less rinsing and significantly less paper taste which I'm really good at detecting. Although good quality paper filters helps with that anyway. Proper Hario/Chemex/Kalita brand filters are much better that the cheap generics.
