3. Blueair

Blueair’s air purifier reduces the level of air pollution in your home and is made of completely recyclable materials. Air pollution is the single biggest environmental threat to human health, and to the health of our planet.

Indoor air pollution can be up to five times higher than outside and since we spend around 90% of our time indoors, it’s important to invest in an air purifier to ensure you are breathing the cleanest air possible.

Air purifiers are engineered to provide years of service. That’s why the housing is made from durable, galvanised steel, rather than petroleum-based plastic.

Filters are made from recyclable polypropylene which naturally breaks down, returning to its original carbon dioxide and water ingredients. Any appliance that can achieve high efficiency with lower power use helps reduce our overall consumption of fossil fuels.
