Making ink from air (no kidding)

[gordo]

A startup in India is capturing the black particles that float in air pollution and turning them into ink. "AIR-INK" is the first ink made entirely out of air pollution.

“Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we’ve been ignorant of their value.”

Wow.. Very cool. Very forward thinking. For any companies out there emitting pollution as a by-product of their manufacturing process, could capture on-site and create ink to sell? 2 birds 1 stone.. In theory capture 100% of their pollution, while also creating a new revenue stream.

There was also a Chinese guy who made bricks from smog.
