Every day we become more aware of the problem of air pollution, and we increasingly see mechanical filters being used in our offices and homes. But are they really an effective solution for cleaning the air we breathe?
How do mechanical filters work?
Mechanical filters clean the air by capturing larger particles and then releasing the filtered air back into the environment. They therefore perform a filtration function, but they do not always represent a sustainable and effective solution.
Over time, they accumulate dirt, forcing ventilation systems to work harder and leading to higher energy consumption. Moreover, they are often ineffective at removing gases such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
In addition, they require frequent maintenance and periodic filter replacement, which leads to higher costs and a greater environmental impact.
When nature helps purify indoor air
But is there an alternative way to purify the air?
This is where biofilters offer a solution. They are filters made from organic materials, ideal for a more natural and sustainable air purification.
Among these, Aura’s biofilters, the core of Aura’s breathing green walls, represent a sustainable and high-performance alternative. Within them, the combined action of carefully selected plants and the patented Aura Mix substrate makes it possible to capture both solid particles and gaseous pollutants.
Harmful substances are filtered by the biofilter and transformed into nutrients for the plants, purifying the air without accumulating residues. In this way, the system is more durable over time, easier to manage, and has a lower environmental impact.
In addition, Aura’s biofilters require less energy. The natural purification system and the programmed ventilation of Aura walls reduce energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.
Thanks to Aura’s breathing green walls and their biofilters, you can naturally purify indoor air while integrating well-being and aesthetics into your spaces.
