Royal College of Art graduate Rhea Adaimi has proposed creating a Carbon Capture Facility within an abandoned London warehouse to transform pollution into products.
Proposed for a site on Cody Dock, an industrial area in east London, the conceptual facility was designed by Adaimi to help improve London's air quality.
It incorporates Daan Roosegaarde's Smog Free Towers and technology by Graviky Labs to collect harmful carbon, which is then transformed into dye and ink to decorate textiles and clothes.

"As air pollution in the city of London increases, the population and surroundings are slowly suffocating. Almost two million people in London live in areas with toxic air," Adaimi told Dezeen. "The Carbon Capture Facility transforms carbon from a harmful substance to a new useful material, which becomes a capital that could then help finance the battle against air pollution."

Adaimi designed the Carbon Capture Facility as part of the Royal College of Art's (RCA) Interior Design masters programme called Redefining, Reusing and Recontextualising, which is led by Graeme Brooker.
The facility features two of Daan Roosegaard's Smog Free Towers, which are located in two "indoor gardens" positioned at either end of the abandoned warehouse.
