This Indian startup takes black carbon extracted from polluted air and upcycles it to make stylish, handcrafted building tiles.

"We found a way to add value to this recovered carbon by using it as a pigment in carbon tiles," he says.To create the carbon tiles, Carbon Craft Design partnered with Graviky Labs, an Indian company that previously created"Air Ink," a technology that captures carbon soot from cars and factories, and converts it into ink and paint.

"Graviky Labs views pollution as a resource," company founder Anirudh Sharma tells CNN."We are one of only a few companies in the world to capture these carbon emissions and turn them into new materials." As the company scales up production, Sidnal hopes to lower prices and produce a cheaper range of carbon tiles."We want to hit the affordable sector," he says."Sustainability is not only for the elite."
