We all long to spend our days out in the open along with nature.
Unfortunately, we are stuck living most of our lives in cities breathing polluted air.
Currently, the Air Pollution related healthcare costs are at €18 Billion and this number is expected to rise up to €150 Billion by the year 2050.
Polluted air causes a range of problems from headaches to premature lung cancers and cardiovascular diseases.
Our product focuses on one of the pollutants that is the hardest to deal with, which is fine dust or particulate matter as it is very hard to filter it out from the air.
Global Opportunity
Our initial focus is on Subway stations. There are currently approx 5800 stations worldwide and this number continues to grow!
The air in these subways is usually 10x more polluted than that we find in urban traffics in most metropolitan cities. 85% of them do not comply with the WHO Standards for acceptable PM particles in the air.
Our Hidden Champion.. MOSS!
We have integrated moss into our filtering panels and redefined indoor greening!
Our Wall Panels
Based on simulations and studies our panels can reduce the levels of PM by approx 15% which brings most of the stations within the acceptable WHO Standards.
The UN Development Goals we strive to achieve using our solution.
Business Plan
Market Entry would be via our Pilot Project with the Wiener Linien making it the Greener Linien.
Revenue Model
Prices per panel. A recommendation of 12 panels per platform would be advised.
Potential Market Size
Business Model
We would directly supply the Subway Operators with panels assembled by our team of contractors using our designs and specifications.
The Subway Operators could collect a small fee included in the tickets for providing cleaner air as well as receive budget grants from the government for the same.
Our network of partners that have been established.
Competitor Analysis
Our competition is mainly from chemical and mechanical filters.
Even though both the systems provide clean air and value for money, Our solution is nature-based and helps boost health and mental well-being while being aesthetic to look at in comparison to our competition.
The TEAM
We have a diverse team from 4 different backgrounds which helps us support each other.
