These upcycled bricks filter pollution from rainwater runoff
Abstract
AquiPor Technologies paver bricks absorb runoff water and pollution from rainwater runoff. Aquipor is labeled as "Next generation green infrastructure engineering." They develop construction materials with engineered designs for scalable on-site stormwater management and infiltration systems in cities. The main product offered by the startup is a permeable concrete-like material. AquiPor created a runoff management system that prevents particle pollution from reaching rivers and sewers, making sure that cleaner water reaches the ground. The AquiPor permeable concrete material filters large amounts of rainwater to manage runoff without large visible drains. Best of all, the material can be used in new infrastructures and retrofits. Industrial "Leftover" materials are sourced from other industries to make an upcycled material.
