Rapid Asbestos Detection Device
Greenwall recognizes a significant business opportunity for a portable, cost-effective, real-time asbestos detection device. This device will immediately detect whether asbestos is present in any building or material, effectively supporting both the identification and subsequent management of this hazardous material. Initial PoC studies based on the use of Near Infrared spectroscopy have indicated a time reduction per sample of 13 minutes, reducing costs significantly and achieving 98% accuracy in asbestos detection. This project aims to advance the technology to develop a validated pre-production prototype for field trials prior to commercialization, targeting the professional asbestos surveying market as well as the general construction sector.
Feedback Overview:
The idea of a portable, real-time asbestos detection device is highly innovative and addresses a significant pain point in the construction and health and safety industries. To successfully reach product-market fit, it is crucial to ensure the device's accuracy and reliability through extensive field trials. Additionally, developing strategic partnerships with construction companies and regulatory bodies can help in gaining market traction and credibility. Marketing efforts should emphasize the cost and time savings, as well as the safety benefits of using the device.
