00:00Pollution is not a local issue, it is not from my city, nor is it from my country.

00:04It is an issue that affects many people around the world.

00:07We have called death caused by factors related to environmental pollution as slow death.

00:15BioUrban is designed to try to prevent that from happening.

00:19In its interior, there are 500 liters of algae that are capturing the pollution.

00:32In other words, we simulate that it is a very large nose.

00:36It is a nose that is installed at intersections or in places of high influx of people

00:42and they are breathing the pollution of the environment to inhale it in this system, which are the tanks.

00:49It is doing the photosynthetic process and, later on, it is returning, exhaling more oxygenated air.

00:57BioUrban is designed for any city in the world that already has pollution problems

01:01or that, without having them yet, foresees that the air quality is even better

01:07than what it could have in a few years if it does not make assertive decisions in this matter.

01:24The idea of Biomitec and the creation of BioUrban

01:28was born as a consequence of the fact that, at a global level,

01:31mobility was seen as an idea of being able to return the streets to the citizens,

01:39to stop making cities for cars and to start giving them back to those who originally belong to them.

01:45Accepting and adopting ideas like these from BioUrban,

01:48which are one of the first solutions that can be seen at a global level,

01:54so that something can really be done in our cities,

01:57so that the authorities and the different socially responsible companies really want to make a change.

02:24The natural action of breathing is what is leading us,

02:28sometimes without noticing it and without wanting it,

02:32to breathe polluted air that is leading us to lung diseases,

02:37chronic diseases and even death.

02:40Only in Mexico City, with the levels of contingency that have been presented,

02:44we have warned that people should stay at home,

02:49that they could not go out to outdoor activities,

02:52and this affects the quality of life of people.

03:06Here in Mexico we also obtained the Green Challenge from Heineken

03:11and with it we were able to dress the system in a way that could be commercialized.

03:17Since we had this great idea, since we have been able to materialize it,

03:22our goal is to reach the largest number of cities in the world.

03:26We want to change the lives of thousands of millions of people.

03:31We can do it.

03:33We are working hard so that our production capacity increases on a large scale

03:39and we can serve any city in any country in the world.
