OneLife X
An air purifier using a sustainable filtration technology with a filter you can clean by yourself.
How does it work?
Unlike conventional air purifiers, the OneLife X doesn’t work with HEPA filters, but uses a special developed filter technology. The particles are ionized and separated in the filter without producing harmful ozone. This leads to a highly efficient cleaning performance with low energy consumption. The filter can be reused because it is cleanable with water, eliminating the waste that occurs with used HEPA filters making it more sustainable. Design-wise the OneLife X follows the maxim of non-disruptive design. Its calm design is more reminiscent of a piece of furniture than a technical device. The selection of natural materials allows it to blend into any modern-day interior. The fabric covers bring a cozy appearance to the device and are exchangeable. The sleek control panel displays the air quality and ensures an easily accessible control. In addition, an app can be used to control the OneLife X and obtain more detailed information about the air quality both indoors and outdoors.
Why is it needed?
Every day we take 20,000 breaths, which is equivalent to about 15,000 liters of air. The air around us it not always pure enough. The causes of air pollution are manifold and follow us even into our indoor spaces. The smaller the pollutants the more harmful they are to our bodies. Fine dust particles range from 2.5 µm down to 0.01 µm and thus easily enter the bloodstream via our lungs. These pollutants then spread everywhere in the body causing severe long-term damage. Common air purifiers with HEPA filters contribute to a greater environmental impact due to higher energy consumption and the filter disposal issue. Used HEPA filters end up in landfills or are burned so that the collected particles are released to the environment again. Instead the OneLife X filter can be cleaned under running water, so that the captured fine dust particles agglomerate to much larger particles. They are then transported to the local water treatment systems via the wastewater network and safely collected.
How does it improve life?
Our main goal was to develop a new technology to improve people's indoor air quality to prevent suffering from dangerous diseases caused by polluted air. Improved air quality not only saves your health, it also adds multiple benefits to your daily life such as reducing stress and a better sleep. Especially people suffering from asthma and seasonal allergies can breathe more freely. Overall clean air boosts your immune system allowing you to live a productive life with more peace of mind. Our next step is to improve the technology even further and make it more accessible so that we give people around the world the chance to breathe clean air in their homes. Clean air is a human right!
