Press Release Overview
The press release issued by The Art of Living – Sri Sri Naisargik announces the joint development and marketing of WARO‑C6, an outdoor, solar‑powered, filter‑less air‑purification and carbon‑capture device, created in partnership with Mumbai‑based Zerocarbontech24. The product was unveiled at The Art of Living International Centre in Bengaluru.
Technology Description
WARO‑C6 is engineered to operate in high‑pollution zones such as roadsides, traffic corridors, industrial premises and other areas where airborne dust and particulate emissions affect communities. Unlike conventional filtration systems, the device employs a proprietary, software‑controlled mechanism that draws polluted ambient air, captures particulate matter, and releases treated air back to the environment. It does not rely on physical filters, ionisation, ultraviolet light, magnetic fields or high‑voltage components; instead it uses static principles, internal air pressure and kinetic energy managed by a low‑voltage electronic chip.
Performance Metrics
- Air‑processing capacity: approximately 30 litres of air per second, equivalent to 300,000 litres per hour.
- Particle capture range: capable of capturing particles across size categories PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10, as well as dust and smoke. The stated figures refer to the volume of air processed, not the absolute amount of pollution removed; actual air‑quality improvement depends on pollutant concentration, wind speed, atmospheric conditions, device placement and the rate of new pollution ingress.
Power and Energy Use
The device operates on 12 V DC and can be powered by solar panels, batteries or grid electricity. A 14‑volt solar‑powered configuration is also referenced. Its dry‑operation model avoids water consumption, differentiating it from water‑based dust suppression methods.
Circular‑Economy Feature
Captured dust and particulate matter are intended for reuse in construction materials such as paver blocks and bricks, linking air‑pollution management with resource recovery and reducing waste disposal requirements.
Digital Monitoring and AI
WARO‑C6 incorporates artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. Integrated environmental sensors monitor parameters including particulate matter, rainfall and temperature. GPS tracking and a live dashboard provide real‑time information on device locations and operating conditions, enabling operators and municipal authorities to track performance, monitor local environmental conditions and identify additional deployment needs.
Deployment Configurations
The WARO platform offers multiple models for varied environments:
- STR‑101 – pole‑mounted system
- DVR‑101 – road‑divider installation
- THOR‑101 and IG‑101 – higher‑capacity configurations for heavy industrial settings
These models allow placement closer to emission sources rather than reliance on centralized infrastructure.
Context and Outlook
The launch reflects growing interest in technologies that combine localized pollutant capture, energy efficiency and digital monitoring. While the filter‑less, solar‑compatible design and pollutant‑recovery model differentiate WARO‑C6 from conventional indoor air‑purifiers, its effectiveness in open environments will require independent performance evaluation under varied outdoor conditions. The release emphasizes that such devices complement, rather than replace, broader measures aimed at reducing emissions at the source through cleaner energy, transport and industrial practices. The next phase for WARO‑C6 will depend on demonstrated real‑world performance, safe handling of captured pollutants and the ability to deliver measurable, sustained improvements in local air quality.
