L2M – Commercialization of Cold Plasma Technology for Sustainable Disinfection in Agri-Food Applications
Disinfection is essential across households, industries, agriculture, and healthcare. But, choosing the right chemical disinfectant raises concerns, as residues, volatile compounds, and microbial resistance often force us to switch chemicals or increase dosages. What if we could disinfect without adding chemicals? Our project explores this possibility by altering the chemistry of air and water using cold plasma technology. We’ve developed a system that activates air and water into reactive agents capable of disinfecting surfaces and environments, safely and sustainably.This innovation offers a chemical-free alternative for effective sanitation, reducing environmental impact and microbial resistance. Our aim is to bring this breakthrough to market, transforming how we think about cleanliness and safety.
