Problem
Indoor air is often significantly more polluted than outdoor air, posing health risks to building occupants. Traditional air purification methods may not effectively remove all pollutants or may require significant energy consumption.
Solution
Bioteos develops service-oriented furniture that utilizes microalgae to purify indoor air. The furniture captures harmful pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter, and converts them into fertilizer through the algae's natural metabolic processes. This bio-purification approach offers a sustainable and energy-efficient alternative to conventional air filtration systems, creating healthier indoor environments. The furniture is designed for tertiary spaces and urban environments, integrating seamlessly into existing building infrastructure.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes businesses, organizations, and building managers seeking to improve indoor air quality in offices, commercial spaces, and urban environments.
