Air purifier recycles polluted air to be transformed into flooring tiles
India has the worst pollution levels in the world, causing more than one million deaths each year according to recent studies. To tackle this public health and environmental issue, startup Praan has designed an affordable and versatile air purifier that cleans air zones at a hyperlocal level.
Called MK One, the outdoor purification device works by removing toxic pollutants from the air and storing them in a container to be recycled. Created specifically for the country’s underprivileged communities, who are generally the most at risk of ill-health due to air pollution exposure, the purifier is filterless, making it more accessible and inexpensive.
Each device costs around €1578 and purifies up to 300 cubic feet of air per minute. When a device needs to be emptied, usually every couple of months, Praan delivers the captured pollutants to its partner design company, Carbon Craft Design, which transforms powdered pollutants into handcrafted floor tiles.
