In this episode, we discuss innovative solutions to fight air pollution with Peter Sänger, CEO and Co-Founder of Green City Solutions, an European startup that researches solutions to reduce air pollution in urban areas.

Green City Solutions was born due to a general lack of focus on achieving a reduction in air pollution levels in urban and non-urban areas. As the name suggests, the startup makes use of the essence of nature and uses its qualities to improve air quality. During their studies, team members found out that moss is a natural ally in fighting air pollution thanks to its  properties and its  adaptability,  and  so  it  should  be used  together  with  human
technology.

Green City Solutions has indeed a solution to global warming. They developed an innovative product which is a moss module, which can be imagined as a green carpet of moss included in a box, which helps to provide the moss with all its need to keep it healthy. The system itself enhances the moss capacity to filter the air 10 times more than normal filtering systems, and the irrigation system implemented in it allows the moss to be taken and installed anywhere regardless of climate conditions.

Moss would be a great resource in our cities. Human beings inhale particles that are invisible to naked eyes, and they are dangerous to our health. By using the product developed by the startup, those particles would be absorbed and transformed in clean air, thus drastically improving health
