Neoplants, a bioengineering company, created the world's first "living air purifier" called Neo Px. It uses a pothos plant and specially engineered bacteria to capture and eliminate indoor pollutants, acting like 30 regular houseplants. This eco-friendly system is easier to maintain than traditional air purifiers and targets harmful VOCs. It costs $119 with refills needed every 3 months.
