Pi Green Innovations: Filtering air without a filter
Pi Green's 'Filterless' solution ensures that PM is captured consistently without significant deterioration in the efficiency throughout the product life cycle. The idea is to capture PM and reuse the soot in various other applications
Multiple startups are applying innovation to address various aspects of sustainability and pollution, and creating new-age products with multiple use cases. Read about some key companies here.
Besides leaving a big environmental footprint, conventional filter-based or water-based technologies have proved to be ineffective to reduce particulate matter (PM) emissions over time. Pi Green’s ‘Filterless’ solution ensures that PM is captured consistently without significant deterioration in the efficiency throughout the product life cycle. The idea is to capture PM and reuse the soot in various other applications.
“We see a huge lack of awareness about the environment when it comes to the public and corporates,” says Shantanu Sonaikar, co-founder of Pi Green Innovations.
“Unfortunately, the environment does not feature in the list of top priorities for Indian corporates. For any environmental initiative to scale, there needs to be substantial commitment of resources that cannot be achieved without participation from the private sector.” We need commitment from all stakeholders to reverse the damage, he adds.
He says, “Air pollution is a bigger problem than most of us perceive it to be. It takes over 7 million lives annually. We need to focus on developing efficient, cost effective, scalable solutions so that adoption is accelerated.”
