Miami, Florida (Hexa PR Wire — September 23, 2025) —
Jamie Mitri, chemical and environmental engineer and founder of Moss Pure, joined The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss developing design objects that use 100% living moss with no watering, sunlight, or ongoing maintenance. The episode reviewed the biology behind Moss Pure’s patent-pending system, distinctions between mechanical and biological air filtration, and ways biophilic design can contribute to stress reduction and indoor air quality.
Mitri explained why many commercial “moss walls” relied on preserved (non-living) material treated with chemicals, and contrasted those products with approaches that support living systems. She outlined how to assess air-quality claims through standards and testing frameworks and described product decisions intended to keep moss viable without pumps or external power. The conversation also traced her transition from medical devices into living-moss applications, including lessons from startup programs and early customer feedback.
