Greenwall Environmental Group is a company engaged in making devices that can minimise non-biodegradable waste. It argues that asbestos remains the largest occupational killer in the UK today. Its product, Asbestosprobe, aims to change this situation. The company asserts that Asbestoprobe is arguably the world's first handheld analyser specifically designed to detect asbestos in real-time. It argues that current methods of detecting and recording the presence of asbestos are costly, invasive and slow. Asbestoprobe uses a point-and-click approach utilising NIR Spectroscopy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyse the presence of asbestos in two minutes via the Asbestoprobe App. Greenwall plans to provide an annual software licensing model which grows through recurring revenue year on year. It endeavours to be a segment leader in the projected $1 billion global asbestos management market. The company will use the investment to grow its business across different verticals.
