ARCHITECT Magazine featured Made of Air in its This Week in Tech feature:

The new material uses biomass, an organic waste, which absorbs and stores carbon dioxide. To produce Made of Air, the biomass is baked and stabilized through a pyrolysis (thermal decomposition) process in an oxygen-free oven. The baked carbon substance is then mixed with a biodegradable binder to create a carbon-negative material that can be molded and shaped into various forms, including façade panels. By the end of its life span, Made of Air can be shredded, and then sequestered in the soil. "Using or consuming products which have sequestered carbon reduces the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere," the company says on its website.
