Free Report - Black Carbon Tiles that lock up the Air pollution.

Black carbon comes from burning fossil fuels,its the stuff that darkens the skies over the Indian cities. It's dangerous to breathe, it reduces crop yield and it contributes to global warming. It only stays in air for weeks but can kill over one million people every year. Tejas Sidnal an architect and the inventor for carbon tiles from India, launched a carbon craft design in 2020 to create marketable products that upcycle waste. Tejas sources most of the black carbon from companies that would otherwise release it into the atmosphere. Like Companies that recycle tires. The factory produces loads of black carbon that usually gets sold as cheap fuel. But when that gets burned it puts the pollution back into atmosphere. Carbon craft interrupts this cycle and puts the toxic power in its tiles. Black carbon comes in huge sacks dry and absolutely pitch black. The sacks go to a factory that has been making tiles by hand for 35 years. Many mass produced tiles only harden in kilns burning at high temperatures. But carbon tiles made from cement are never baked, so the process doesn't require a lot of energy acting as a lowest carbon footprint way of making a tile. The workers follow a process that's been around for over 200 years. Now they replace some ingredients with black carbon and press the slurry under hydraulic press for 2 seconds. The firmed up tiles still need to strengthen through a process called water curing.That means they get hosed down everyday for nearly a month. And they are ready to get packaged and sold. It is very important to appreciate these innovations and make them reach large set of clients for the well being of future generations. sources:https://www.thebetterindia.com/225013/mumbai-startup-air-pollution-tiles-carbon-craft-design-sustainable-innovation-india-ang136/

Hello Rushitha, this is your mentor Chelwoon.

This product shows the possibility that we can change everything green! Although the value chain of this product seems to be complicated and requires more time, his efforts to make our world sustainable is quite valuable. I hope that he gets the credit for his idea and that it spreads across the world so that we can live life full of ‘green?? building.

Thank you for the article!

Hello Rushitha, this is your mentor Joon.

Now that's an excellent example of eco-friendly product! I am quite hesitant whether I should call it as 'upcycling' product as it is made out of byproduct of the gas waste, but one thing is sure: it has to be sustainable to nature. Many field require black colors, and this approach shows that we could use black carbon on such places. We need to invest on such researches, and idea products so that we could keep the earth as sustainable as possible.

Well read your article, and let's keep up!

Best,

Joon
