We are proud to share glimpses of POLLHAp, a sustainability-driven innovation in the field of functional ceramics, presented at InvenTiv 2025 — the national innovation showcase.
In association with Paani Ki Bund Foundation, the team from NIT Trichy displayed their cutting-edge nano-engineered materials that harness organic waste (like eggshells, coral, and fisheries byproducts) to produce eco-friendly hydroxyapatite (HAp).
📌 A vibrant display of research posters showing:
– High crystallinity of HAp verified via XRD.
– Significant CO₂ adsorption capacity and pollutant capture.
– Diverse real-life applications: medical implants, pollutant-absorbing paints, wastewater treatment, and more.
📌 Demonstrations of the innovative material preparation process.
📌 Informative banners and literature detailing how POLLHAp contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
📌 Live interactions with visitors, answering questions about the science, technology, and environmental impact behind this breakthrough.
POLLHAp exemplifies how waste-to-resource innovation can tackle both environmental and industrial challenges — by turning discarded biomaterials into advanced, affordable, and eco-friendly functional ceramics.
As Lady Bird Johnson rightly said:
"The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share."
Together, with ingenuity and collaboration, we move closer to a greener tomorrow.
