Did you know there was a machine that could transform diesel pollution into ink?

This past World Environment Day, The Quint met startup company representatives who’ve come up with cost-effective and innovative ways to deal with pollution.

If you’ve thought of moving to solar energy but haven’t known how to go about it, the startup 8Minutes will help you through the process.

The cost of a government air quality monitoring system, which monitors pollution, ranges from Rs 1-6 crore. Oizome, a Ahemdabad-based company, has come up with an alternative which is far cheaper and just as effective!

Innovative ways to deal with pollution is definitely the need of the hour!
