In a world where indoor air quality has become a major concern, microalgae, and in particular chlorella, are emerging as an innovative and ecological solution. Whether in offices, cafeterias or Open spaces, this microscopic green algae is transforming the way we breathe. Here's why chlorella is revolutionizing indoor air purification.

What is chlorella?

Chlorella, or Chlorella vulgaris, is a green unicellular microalgae that has existed for over 2 billion years. Although it is very small (between 5 and 20 times smaller than the thickness of a hair), it can have a very significant impact on our lives.

Known for its richness in proteins and vitamins, it is widely used in food supplements. But did you know that it also has exceptional properties to purify the air? Thanks to its ability to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and produce oxygen through photosynthesis, chlorella is a real ally in creating a healthy and natural environment.

Why purify the air in indoor spaces?

Enclosed spaces like offices and cafeterias can quickly become saturated with pollutants. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (caused by human breathing), and fine particulate matter are all factors that affect air quality and affect our health and well-being.

Studies show that poor air quality can lead to:

  • A decrease in concentration and productivity.
  • Respiratory problems and allergies.
  • Increased stress and mental fatigue.

Investing in a natural solution such as Chlorella microalgae to purify indoor air then becomes a necessity.

How does chlorella purify the air?

1. Absorption of CO2 and Pollutants

Chlorella uses CO2, a gas that is abundant in enclosed spaces, to grow and produces fresh oxygen. It is also capable of lowering the level of certain VOCs and harmful microparticles.

2. Oxygen production

By photosynthesizing, chlorella enriches the air with oxygen, contributing to a healthier and more dynamic environment.

The Benefits of Using Microalgae in Indoor Spaces

1. A 100% Natural and Sustainable Solution

Unlike conventional air purifiers that work thanks to physical filters, systems based on the use of microalgae work thanks to a so-called biological filter. The biological filter, or chlorella in our case, does not constitute waste and can be recycled in several ways.

2. An improvement in well-being

Clean air promotes better concentration and reduces fatigue, which is ideal in work environments.

3. A Design Integrating Nature and Technology

Devices using chlorella often combine aesthetics and functionality, bringing a touch of nature to the heart of modern spaces.
