The eco-machine is made of 99% air, water and living photosynthetic air-purifying Chlorella cultures. This new bio-digital project demonstrates how advanced integration of biotechnology into the built environment can lead to a new generation of living, growing architectures , where beauty and efficient ecological performance are combined.

From advanced computing to micro-agriculture, bio-design and the cooking and gardening of the future, BioFactory promotes a proactive attitude exemplified by the fundamental aspects of growing, harvesting and processing living organic matter. The first BioFactory pilot scheme was set up in Lisbon at Nestlé's headquarters as a result of one of InGenius' Sustainability Innovation Challenges - Nestlé's Employee Innovation Accelerator.
