Air-Ink
Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Creativity for Good / Product Design / 2017
Air pollution is a global problem. In Asia, it impacts Tiger Beer every day. In fact, 62% of Tiger sales come from exposed street venues. As a proud supporter of street culture and sustainability, Tiger had a bold idea: use the problem to fight the problem. Introducing Air-Ink, the first ink made from air pollution. Devices were developed to capture soot from vehicle exhausts. This was turned into safe, high-quality ink. Air-Ink pens and markers were sent to street artists around the world. To date, 770L of Air-Ink has been made, preventing over 20,000hrs of CO2 entering the air.
