The Graviky team produced a device called Kaalink, which traps pollutants exiting a car’s exhaust pipe, which is then repurposed and made into ink. It claims to trap 95 per cent of particular matter pollution without inducing back-pressure. Kaalink is presently under certification and commercial pilots, and it is currently available for private demonstrations.
