Resource Efficiency and Sustainable Waste Management

Air pollution is a relentless adversary, choking our cities and lungs. But ISCLEANAIR offers a breath of clean air. Founded in 2015, this Italian company Pioneering a new era in air purification. Their innovative Air Pollution Abatement (APA) technology tackles pollution at the surface level, providing revolutionary solutions with far-reaching environmental and health benefits.

A Personal Drive for Clean Air

ISCLEANAIR’s story is deeply personal for its founder, Giuseppe Spanto. Witnessing the toll air pollution took on him and his family’s health, Giuseppe was determined to find a better and safer way to breathe, to the benefit of humanity and to serve people and the environment. Observing and using existing air filters, he found, they were inconvenient, expensive, and ineffective. This experience ignited a passion and new business ideas to create a long-term initiative and truly transformative solutions. He envisioned a world of clean air for everyone, a vision that fueled the development and implementation of APA technology.

All team members have extensive experience in the fields of sustainability and air pollution and, since the beginning, the founders have developed a completely innovative business model through a decidedly strategic process based on the generation and validation of intellectual property and the related registration and granting of national rights and international patents in a so-called “blue ocean” sector, which occupies and controls a large inventive territory and the consequent expected technological evolutions. Thanks to this approach, the technology has acquired numerous qualifications that confirm its uniqueness and also demonstrate the quality of the people behind the project.

In fact, Giuseppe with new and talented people took the initiative even closer to their hearts and worked to be able to continue the business development process since after the pandemic restart, stronger and faster.

The “VALUE CREATION” team is made up of Fabio Galatioto, CTO and UK Director; Chiara Verderese, Business Developer; and the Managing Director, Giuseppe Spanto, who have put together their skills and knowledge to recover from the difficult period and begin a new phase which has led to the launch of a new internationalization and successful development plan on international markets.

A Disruptive Innovation: Air Purification Redefined

Unlike traditional air filters, the ISCLEANAIR re-designed and industrialized technology is a game-changer. It utilizes a unique combination of simple water and mechanical advanced processes to achieve a staggering 99+% reduction in ambient air pollution (simultaneously removing PMs, gases, and chemicals), drastically reduces running costs, and eliminate the need for filters altogether, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective option for extensive implementations everywhere, in all the spaces we live and work.

"The beauty and simplicity for the protection of our health and the Planet," explains Giuseppe Spanto, founder of ISCLEANAIR. We created groundbreaking multi-shape and versatile pollution and carbon absorbers that utilize nature's power, have great absorbing power, and generate the positive effects of thousands of mature trees to capture and eliminate CO2 and pollutants climate-alterants, producing only rain-water-like residuals."

The power of ISCLEANAIR lies in the large real-world implementations, and its flexibility and scalability, to abate the widest range of air pollutants, from harmful gases to nanoparticles smaller than viruses. This makes it ideal for the widest and most diverse range of applications and scalable initiatives everywhere, from industrial and manufacturing settings to schools and hospitals. Additionally, its advanced technology when integrated with existing Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, allows to further reduce environmental impacts by also improving energy efficiency.

ISCLEANAIR: A Revolution in Clean Air

Since 2015, a group of engineers joined forces, driven by a passion for sustainability, society and environment. They financed the startup phases and have revolutionized the ambient air cleaning, environmental sustainability, and energy efficiency sectors with strategic design, multilevel patents (20+ granted), and many certified solutions thanks to large demonstrators and applications in the field.

ISCLEANAIR is becoming a B-Corp and is committed to transparency and accountability, reflected in their wide certifications’ portfolio (like IMQ, many NCR Institutes, Universities, RINA, RICARDO – Innovate UK, EIT Manufacturing, EIC GHG Program 2021 – 2022, CEA, Haifa Env. Agency, Solar Impulse Foundation, The Arch, and others) under continuous improvement to achieve the largest positive effects globally. These prominent certifications and qualifications strongly validate the high level of innovation, impressive track record, a high efficacy and capability of the advanced technology in capturing CO2 and ammonia, particles, gasses, and chemicals abatement – all simultaneously, positioning it as a BAT under IPCC Dir. 2008/1/EC!

Conquering Air Pollution Globally

Following the vision and the strategic reasons, the global air leader ISCLEANAIR has targeted the worldwide serviceable markets and carried out an important scale-up phase at the international level.
The main aspect to be considered is the multi-level element of the innovations designed and the strategic choices that ISCLEANAIR made to acquire a technology positioning of leadership and superiority, at the global level, also achieving the highest level of qualifications for its technology and related solutions, and obtaining the certification of the highest technology and market readiness levels, now at the TRL 9 for the industrial systems and ready to go extensively.​

Up to date, ISCLEANAIR completed 200+ installations and over 60+ projects and has a great pipeline of initiatives, worldwide.
Indeed, thanks to the flexible operational model, ISCLEANAIR can serve globally, and in the main and largest industrial countries worldwide it has the APA patents already granted, coupled with the operational know-how that matured in many years of activities in the field.
The models and strategic planning enable replicable activities and actions with the potential to disrupt and innovate the cleantech sector on an even larger scale and – ISCLEANAIR has already done so – the initiatives apply to various types of spaces, going beyond geographic boundaries to deliver APA services. ​

 

By typically employing a great and unique value proposition, flexible strategies, and business models based on industrial and commercial trade-secret Transfer, ISCLEANAIR is having an impact in many countries, also by offering the possibility of locally manufacturing its solutions and systems, and it’s not a surprise that is part of narrative of international success cases and already attacked many markets from Europe to the United States and Canada, from India, and China to Africa, from Japan to Mexico and South Korea.

ISCLEANAIR designed an integrated and combined industrial and commercial value chain, making the operations through alliances and partnerships, IPRs’ transfer models and business developments cooperation within projects, advanced R&D (close to markets), and Open innovation.

It has recently won many prominent new projects, completed and signed a series of industrial and commercial agreements at the international level, especially in the last 6-7 months.
ISCLEANAIR’s global People and Planet vision is a future free from smog. With their commitment to clean the air we breathe using innovative versatile technologies, it is making that vision a reality.
