"Black Carbon is bad for the lungs" Then a man proceeds to pour it in a bucket with no mask on and the dust gets all in the air. Atleast give the workers some ppe. Its like 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
Dang you beat me to it lmao
The education is key. They just don't even realize. A simple fan really and filters would be totally cheap and help them longterm with labor, because eventually many will get sick and cause a hiring shortage.
Thats just what indians do
@@dertythegrower i wanted to ask what type of cannibis can i grow that’s legal in florida for my yard cause i really like the look of them
Because it's most likely they get paid by pieces and even if they have the security equipment using it limits their visibility/productivity by 20% or some, and they need the money now , health can be damned it's not like they can ever stop working until they die
Yeah this is greenwashing of the highest order. Firstly, cement making involves heating limestone and other additives to roughly 1450°C to chemically alter them. Thats pretty much the same as ceramic tiles. Secondly, Black Carbon is pretty much the same stuff that would be used as pigment in this application anyway. The only positive here is that they maybe use more black carbon than strictly necessary in the production, but even that only serves to slightly shrinking the tiles carbon footprint and is no way a great new way to reduce pollution like Business Insider wants to tell us.
Well said this is what's about to say you have done, I am manufacture, carbon is just pigment which goes 1-3% in cement tile processing, its no way environmental friendly its just eye wash 😉 😜, to produce cement tile you need lot of water for cureing this water can't be use and cement its self not environmental friendly on the processing and for converting greay colors you don't need carbon, gray cement itself enough
Yeah exactly. They should just manufacture black ink instead.
@@ArjunSharma-gy1eq Yeah, and then sell it to whom? Calligraphers? That's a dying community. Not only that, however viscous your black carbon ink is or however concentrated it is, it had a lot of potential area to clog up then pen you are gonna use. So that's a no go.
@@ArjunSharma-gy1eq that's an amazing idea...maybe they could make paints instead of ink. Acrylic and wall, tile paints etc...or just regular acrylic paint for art
@@tessathomas554 yeah the possibilities are endless. Also if they start manufacturing art products, they will need much less manual labour and will be able to brand it as an exotic product.
2:55 "But Carbon Tiles made from CEMENT are never baked, so the process doesn't require a lot of energy."
Cement requires HUGE amounts of energy to produce. It involves mining for raw materials, crushing limestone, drying the stone using hot air and grinding. It is then superheated to 1400°C in a kiln. It must be cooled using extractor fans. The resulting clinker is then crushed into powdered cement.
Does this sound like a low energy/low pollution process? 🤔
It's greenwashing the tiles are packaged in plastic!!!
@@insectbite1714 okay bro
Plus the tiles are cute with water ones every 2 hours for months on end wasting valuable drinking water on top of that
Exactly
Yes. Shut up
What do you mean by they have to water the tiles for 1 MONTH ? How much water do you waste for these tiles ? What’s the trade off between water waste and low energy use ?
Ikr!! And where do they even release the polluted water
This is a pilot project
do you even now how concrete works? every single project that uses concrete requires that amount of water
@@halfmoon1654 not true
@@halfmoon1654 Thats actually not true.
The amount of energy it takes to make cement is far greater than what it takes to fire ceramic tiles. The amount of actual pollutants captured by these tiles is so minimal that I'm surprised Business Insider got so sucked into this concept. Look at the waste of water during the curing process and the polishing. This is a gimmick at the very least.
If the whole world was made with these tiles even more carbon would come into the air and sea.
Because when you walk on these tiles they will wear off just like any other tile.
And that dust will then spread to the ocean, fish and eventually on your plate.
Yeah i dont really understand the point. Its not stopping 99.9% of the pollution they have there. They are just kinda using the already there pollution to make something which then relies on pollution to stay in business
And don't forget the water requirement to cold-cure cement daily for a month. Then the (probably coal-fired) electricity to run the buffing machine for a few days. Just another green-scam.
Thank you, I was looking for this comment! i
Feel good story shifts focus from actual problem
I like how they focus on their product but not employee safety and the workplace.

@@insectbite1714 they were quite obviously packed into cardboard boxes, bound with tape.

...just not because of the packaging.
At least he’s trying to do something … negative energy go away please
Why not use the carbon powder in epoxy to make an epoxy carbon floor? More carbon powder gets used this way and a clear top coat will prevent any carbon particles from being worn down or worn off if that would even be possible since it’s bound to the epoxy.
Because epoxy is a plastic that comes with its own issues...
Using soot as a pigment is not the solution.
@@EduardoWalcacer that is exactly what most black pigment is. Carbon black is used as a UV blocker in almost ALL black plastic. Most plastic is up to 5% carbon black. They call it black carbon in this video to either sound like they are doing something new or it is a grammar mistake.
@@excitedbox5705 In case my comment wasn't clear, do you belive that using soot as a pigment is the solution for all soot polution?
@@EduardoWalcacer Ever heard of coal? 66% or more of it is carbon. Now where was it all this time? Under ground... All you need to do with soot is pack it down and top it off with the right kind of soil. THE END. And it will actually prove beneficial even. Ever heard of charcoal filters for pools for example? Yeah... Or you can use it to make ink for example. What they are doing with these tiles is a) uneccessary and b) waste of water. Carbon is only dangerous in form of small particles that you can breathe in or as a greehouse gas. Otherwise its completely safe.
I mean you're making more pollution than you're capturing with the footprint of cement, but if you're going to be making the cement anyway. you might as well encapsulate some toxic, flammable, radioactive fly ash into it.
Don't forget the entire month's worth of water needed to cure the tiles. I don't think it's a sustainable solution. Mostly a way to prevent the Black Carbon from getting into the air. Would much rather mix it into concrete and see if it doesn't affect it's structural integrity and use it up that way
It's greenwashing the tiles are packaged in plastic!!!
@@insectbite1714 Their main concern is air quality, not global warming or general pollution.
Yeah it's really stupid. They should just manufacture black ink.
@@harsha1306 it’s being mixed into concrete for over 35years already. Up to 30% of the cement volume can be replaced by flyash in any form
i live in the biggest slum in dharavi and its heavily polluted in fact its so polluted i cant even see a km away bcuz it would be covered in smoke but during the peak of the lockdown 6-8months in the sky cleared so much i was very astonished bcuz i was able to see as far as the eye can and clearly

@@insectbite1714 bruh whatever I think they will replace it soon or something
@@insectbite1714 Why would you ever package tiles in plastic, if you've ever been to a construction site you'd know that just doesn't happen
For the people that are not from India the b-rolls used have some filter over them. we don't live in a post apocalyptic world that is red all the time
True
just brown instead, dirty
Theres no way these tiles can compare to fully fired vitrified tile. Its a great idea but most home owners are not gonna be Ok w/ the tile having to be polished after installation, there will also be a porosity and staining issue as a result of this.
Would you mind to elaborate about the porosity issue?
I strongly disagree
I’d be more worried about breathing it
@@hipindie7363 With concrete, the less water is intially used, the higher psi rating. These guys are using minimal water and a hydraulic press to form the tiles, could psi an 8000 psi mix + but concrete is still porous and can be affected by water, an example of this is their water curing process, the tile is still absorbing water months later. This also means that the tiles are prone to staining as well.
@@kurtsmith4657 So, despite the whole process, the porosity still high; thus the tile is prone to staining. Am I getting this right?
This process uses huge amounts of energy in making the cement, lots of water in the curing process, electricity in polishing them, and then they use such minimal amounts of carbon that this isn't even worth talking about.
What is the percentage of carbon in each tile on average?
What is the comparison of carbon footprint of heated tiles vs cement tiles that need to be excessively polished.
For the heated one you just have to make sure the factory runs on solar but this polishing on site would use electricity from coal plants.
What is the durability of this compared to conventional tiles? Has this been tested?
The questions you are asking will end up in foreclosure of the enterprise. Such documentaries are funded by greenwashers and they continently exclude the part that you are after. Putting carbon in tiles to reduce the environmental impact is roughly equivalent to desalinating sea water and moving it inland to tackle rising sea level problems.
It's not like those polishing machines can't run on solar power 😒. If you can make sure to have your regular tile making facility run on solar energy then you can make sure to have factories like this run on solar too .

But in a self serving self centered society poisoned with infinite knowledge and petite things wanted to continue self serving..... We are doomed by those that are far too many in number and far to soft in their comfort to want to change anything. Must have "stuff" and with it the center of all that pollutes.

Money solves problems.
If there will be nothing left they could start to eat poor for survival :(
With people gone nature could recover in a couple hundred years :)
Does this really seal the carbon or if they're scratched can the carbon be released into the immediate environment? Are they planning on ways to cut down the install work so it's more comparable to regular tile?
It's greenwashing the tiles are packaged in plastic
@@insectbite1714 really? The video shows its being packaged in cardboard boxed
@@insectbite1714 they were quite obviously packed into cardboard boxes, bound with tape.
Probably, but It’s small amount, so it maybe better than just being released into the air immediately.
Even if the carbon is released through scratching, it is unlikely to be suspended in the air for weeks.
Please explain to me how the excessive waste in the production and installation process is better than the other option.
Here it appears that carbon is used as a colourant for the tiles. Question is if it is suitable on a large scale? Based on what was spoken by workers, it is a raw ingredient minimally used. Then we still have an unsolved problem.
I pity the poor workers that don’t wear protective gear while mixing toxic carbon. He might get cancer next time.
What this video gets wrong the most is that carbon is toxic... ITS NOT. What is hazardous is small particles and breathing them in (and that applies pretty much to all small particles)... Carbon itself like this is actually common in nature. Think of charcoal for example. So what they are doing is not only uneccessary but also health hazard for their workers. Best solution? Bury it. It will work as a natural filter for water and its actually benefitial for plants (of course depending on ammount). After all it is actually common in nature. Every time volcano errupts or forrest burns what do you think ends up in the atmosphere and then in the ground? :D
PS: This carbon is commonly used in dying plastic, ink, or even tires. And in much bigger ammounts. What they show in the video is actually a waste of drinkable water. Nothing more.
It stays in air for a few weeks. But everyday it's adding up...
It's greenwashing the tiles are packaged in plastic!!!
@raymak Bro you showed now? We are waiting for you to give a solution for this problem..!!
Eyo ray mak
yeah no shit sherlock 😂
The cement industry as a method from all the labor and processes entailed has a massive pollution footprint. Putting carcinogenic pollutants inside fresh concrete is a not a good solution and a health hazard. If someone can solve replacing concrete with cheaper and/or equivalent cost; and say it's bio organically grown fast enough to produce and efficient it's a multi billion dollar problem that will reward who ever figures it out.

Exactly my thought when they mentioned they were using cement. And then they add they don't use all that much black carbon on their cement tiles, as carbon messes with the cement...

Was this properly researched? Will there be side effects in the long run for the people who resides on the bldgs that has these carbon tiles?
How about the workers? Will their health be compromised while making these tiles?
Probably hasn't been researched and won't be . My theory is tho that the amount of BC emitted from the tiles by e.g. scraping/walking is significantly lower than the amount of BC in the air. In terms of workplace safety, it's most definitely highly toxic, especially regarding the low safety standards shown in the video (e.g. the one guy not wearing a mask while throwing it into the bucked
If you dig deep you will find these Insiders sare acting as social influencers for sale of news or mooooolaaaah..so who cares research
Tbh, I don't want to put a tile made from some pollutions on my house if it's not proven that it was safe for our health. Yes, it's a creative ideas but sometimes it's borderline impossible and dangerous
Any black plastic contains "black carbon" also known as "carbon black" as a UV blocker. Any black paint contains it as well. If you own something black it is most likely using carbon black. Stop thinking everything is dangerous and bad without actually INFORMING YOURSELF OF FACTS.
@@excitedbox5705 it's just uneducated people mislead by this channel calling carbon "toxic". it is not toxic. it's literally harmless dust. but dust is still bad if you breath in a huge amount or its all in the air. they don't understand
At every stage till those multiple polishings, a lot of energy and water are being used. Maybe a self audit would help in checking and quantifying gains/losses and whether the entire process is carbon-neutral.
I work with concrete and one day, a mix that was mostly Portland cement melted a small portion of the plastic based form. This plastic actually melted and fused with the concrete.
After seeing that, I wondered about recycling plastic waste into concrete, but finding a way to make it a beneficial admixture at the same time.
Just a thought
This has already been done. Pretty sure it was featured in another business insider video. They basically made plastic trash bricks. Problem with this idea is that micro plastics will be released each time cars go over the concrete - which is extremely dangerous for humans. Most videos I see that have an “eco” alternative, always have a big caveat and are not as revolutionary as they seem. I think the best movement right now is the clean the oceans movement which is actually a feasible goal with no real caveat.
@@readifdumb I saw using the plastic for benches and stuff like that, that makes sense, roads of plastic not that much
@@ElAdri1999 Agreed. I suggested on the African plastic brick video to use the bricks in walls or other building construction that wouldn't experience the same wear and tear. An Ikea style bookcase would hardly give off the same microplastics as a daily traveled road.
"It's also bad for cement but we can use it in small amount"
So basically this is just a gimmick lol

Looks like a product called travertine here in the states. It comes in everything from 1 foot squares to 4 foot slabs. Travertine is very popular in large government or corporate buildings and hospitals because of the added marble powder which makes it very long lasting and easy to maintain. Large public buildings might be a good place to start to earn popularity. I would love to see how durable the product is after awhile.

As for the tiles, would incorporating black carbon into ceramic tiles not work for some reason? I’m just wondering why they use the curing technique that this company uses to produce tiles instead of adding the carbon to traditionally produced ceramic tiles.
Except cars don't produce black carbon soot. More likely it's from coal burning power plants.

It won't change anything.
Anything that they show in the opening ( from 00:30 onward ) will still happen, vehicles still flooding the air with pollution, people still burning stuff, and tires still get burned.
And they use cement to make these tiles, cement require lots of energy to make, they also use tons of water (hosed every day for a month), then it needs lots of polishing (15-20 days). All of those combined will result in a more carbon footprint than normal baked tiles.
Well, at least they tried.

I'm kinda surprised that they didn't just use black carbon as an insulating material added into cement regardless.
The color black is great at distributing heat but carbon is not so if added into cement walls it should offer a stronger insulation. This should offer a more through pretection in either cold or dry places.
The only downside should be the consistency and amount of black carbon available.
The amount of electricity it takes for the 737K views this video has gotten (at the time of writing this) has produced much more pollution than this guy will keep from entering the atmosphere. Great job, Business Insider.
