# Pollution-Made Ink Products These Ink Items Were Designed to Make a Statement on Air Quality By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-08-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-products References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/388101/Tiger-Beer-Turns-Air-Pollution-Into-Ink-Artists-Use-It-To-Create-Street-Art/) & [air-ink](http://www.air-ink.com/) These ink products were designed from an unusual ingredient for the purpose of making a unique artistic statement. [Tiger Beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-puffer) is based in Singapore and the brand decided to collaborate with 'Graviky Labs' in India in order to put this project together. The collaboration involved the creation of a tool that attaches to a car's exhaust pipes and collects the soot, which is then purified and converted into ink. The resulting ink products were dubbed '[Tiger Air-Ink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-archives)' and come in the form of pens, markers and spray cans -- which were sent to artists who live in areas where pollution is a significant problem. With certain countries in Asia dealing with dangerous levels of pollution, this project functions as an artistic statement on alternative resources and the importance of tackling the issues relating to environmental instability. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pollution-made Ink:** Using pollution to create ink products presents an opportunity for sustainable and eco-friendly art supplies. - **Air Quality Awareness:** The collaboration between Tiger Beer and Graviky Labs highlights the rising concern for air pollution and the need for innovative solutions. - **Creative Sustainability:** Turning pollution into ink showcases the potential for creative approaches to sustainability and environmental initiatives. ### Where This Applies - **Art Supplies:** The development of pollution-made ink products opens up new avenues for sustainable and socially conscious art supplies. - **Environmental Technology:** The collaboration between Tiger Beer and Graviky Labs demonstrates the potential for innovative environmental technologies that address pollution issues. - **Sustainable Consumer Goods:** The creation of ink products from pollution highlights the emergence of sustainable and environmentally friendly consumer goods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainably Inked Whisky Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walker-bottles.md) - [Pollution-Removing Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-campaign-sucks.md) - [Sleek Pollution-Reducing Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecos-1.md) - [Fruit Waste Ink Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-waste-ink.md) - [Metallic Ink Marker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krink-1.md) - [Environmentally Friendly Metal Inks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electroninks.md) - [Carbon-Neutral Stationery Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabercastells.md) - [Beer-Branded Digital Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-archives.md) - [Skin-Caring Pollution Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-drop-finder.md)
