The Living Wall represents a hybridization of two technologies that are quickly gaining in usage as means of remediating contaminated soils, water and air in outdoor industrial settings. These technologies are biofiltration, the use of biological systems of beneficial microbes to break down organic pollutants into their benign constituents and phyto-remediation, the use of green plants to facilitate the remediation or reclamation of contaminated soils or water. The Living Wall approach 'repackages' these old approaches into a system specifically designed for the rigours of the indoor environment. The Living Wall Systems package Nature's ability in an aesthetically pleasing format to remove contaminants from the indoor environment. This represents a large step forward in science, engineering and building design.
The air is cleaned through completely natural means using processes without any artificial chemicals. Many alternative means of cleaning the indoor environment rely on passing the air through filters with a range of chemicals that work like sponges to capture the contaminants out of the air as they pass through the material. However, like a sponge these filters become saturated and once saturated they cannot remove any more and therefore have a limited life expectancy. Also at the end of the life of these filters, the filters must be disposed of and because they work by pulling the pollutants out of the air and storing it, all of the pollutants ever removed from the air are still in the filter medium at the end of its life. The filter medium becomes hazardous waste, dangerous to humans and the environment.
The Living Wall System cleanses the air through purely biological means and does not rely on chemicals to remove the contaminants from the air. The Living Wall System is an ecological approach to maintain the indoor environment with the whole life cycle of the system taken into account. Because the pollutants in the air are broken down to their benign constituents, there is nothing to accumulate in the system. Although the systems are typically designed for up to over 20 years of operation, the biological aspects have the ability to continue with their functions forever. The biology component is a self-repairing, self-rejuvenating air cleanser.
