Its time to give poor trees a break. Cleaning our ever more polluted air, trees are working hard to filter our environment, but the population in cities makes it hard to keep up. Weve seen building materials that are working to clean the environment before, Ceracasa Lifewall and Bionictile work together to create plant matter and cleaner air. Alcoa, the renowned manufacturer of all things aluminum, is removing smog from the environment with Reynobond with EcoClean.
Reynobond is a pre-painted, aluminum, coil-coated panel, which is combined with EcoClean, a proprietary coating with titanium oxide. The power duo remove pollutants and cleans through the reaction of sunlight, water vapor, and oxygen. Titanium oxide works as a photocatalyst by interacting with sunlight to breakdown organic matter on and near the panels. The remnant organic matter sits on the surface ready to be washed away by rain.
According to the company website, 10,000 square feet of Reynobond® with EcoClean™ has the approximate air cleansing power of 80 trees. Thats enough cleaning power to offset the smog created by the pollution output of four cars every day.
