About us

Graviky Labs® is an award-winning

clean technology company that has
industrialized the process of recycling
air pollution emissions into
advanced pigments and inks.

Graviky is a spinoff from MIT Media Lab.

Our current focus is to reinterpret the
environment conversation through
fusion of science and art and develop
technologies which have net-positive
impact on our environment.

Cleaning up our air will also help in the fight against climate change, the biggest
environmental problem we face.

 Why ?
Air Pollution includes the fine black
particles, chiefly composed of carbon,
produced by incomplete combustion of fossil
fuels. The common trait of soot particles is
that they are extremely tiny–
2.5 micrometers or smaller in diameter.

This is smaller than dust and mold, and is

about 1/30 the diameter of a human hair. It
can travel deep into the lung, where the
compounds it consists ofcan do some
serious damage.

World Bank report suggests thatdirty air

takes huge economic toll on poor
countries and costs the world more than
$5 trillion annually in lost work days
and welfare costs

 Inspiration

Pollution is nothing but the

resources we are not harvesting. We
allow them to disperse because
we've been ignorant of their value.

 Time Line
2013 Kaalink seeded at the Fluid Interfaces Group, MIT Media Lab, Boston and first presented at INK Conference 2013.

We started working on air pollution sensing, control and capture as a tailpipe retrofit. Research on integration of
2014 mechatronics within the back-pressureallowances

2015 Several chemical processes were evaluated to detoxify the captured Particulate Matter, and to retain consistency
and good flow rates.

2016 Graviky Labs incorporated. We started our real world pilots. Air-ink campaign held in Hong Kong in partnership from
Tiger. Artists and environmentalists around the world came behind the idea. First video launched. 2.5 million views in 10
days. 1000+ commercial enquiries

2017 Successfully completed Kickstarter. Air Pollution capture pilot with IVECO, and Heineken in London and Berlin.
2000+Preorders.

Further development on KAALINK, tomake it consumer/market ready.

We use our patent pending
technology KAALINK to capture
particulate pollution emitted
from diesel
exhausts/chimneys that’s
released on day to day
engine operations.
KAALINK retrofits to
the exhaust pipes.
This does not affectvehicle/
engine performance.
