Solaga

Solaga is a Berlin-based biotech startup which specializes in the development of innovative solutions for air filtrations and regenerative energy production based on algae biofilms. Microalgae are able to fix air pollutants such as fine dust, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and volatile gases and render them harmless .

Solaga implements green design. The first product Alwe is an eco-efficient wall decoration. The algae pattern brings life to the wall - space-saving and easy to clean. At its heart, Alwe houses a living micro-algae biofilm which, as an air purifier, actively binds air pollutants and makes them harmless. Ventilation openings on the left and right sides integrate Alwe into the natural air circulation of the room. 

Solaga would like to extend this effect to urban algae filters from outdoor surfaces. In biofilters, microalgae biofilms operate with low energy consumption and are suitable for cleaning off low concentrations. They thus offer enormous potential for urban and biological air purification.
