What is NanoFlashing's environmental footprint?

What measured evidence supports each environmental claim across the product's lifecycle?

The company makes no environmental claim across the lifecycle, so there is no such claim to support.

The company publishes no lifecycle assessment and no footprint calculation. The one before-and-after energy measurement it publishes is on the Validation page, for a financial landmark in London over six months from March 2024 to September 2024, measured before and after the air handling unit filters were changed to NanoFlashing™; that is one building over one period, and it is not a lifecycle measurement. The company also states that the filter in use generates no ozone and emits nothing into the air passing through it, a statement about the air passing through the filter rather than a lifecycle measurement. The Validation page also names Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011 (https://www.eurovent-certification.com/en/catalog/program/certificate/participant/model/show/202119878), and states that “Eurovent certifies the same filter at ISO ePM1 70%, with an A class energy rating”.

What information addresses material release during use, cleaning, weathering and disposal?

The label directs that the filter is not washed, vacuumed, brushed, blown out or reused, so the article has no cleaning step, and it directs that the used filter and its packaging are disposed of as ordinary household or commercial waste under Federal, State and local requirements, not burned and not reused.

The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest.

The company's statement that the filter emits nothing into the air passing through it is about a filter in use, and it publishes no separate shedding, abrasion, weathering or disposal-release study; for handling a used filter the label directs: “Put the used filter straight into a bag or waste container. Do not shake it out or blow it clean.”

What verified composition information is available for an independent environmental assessment?

The company describes the media by a property, not by a composition. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances.

What evidence supports any ethical-sourcing or labor-practice statement about the supply chain?

Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The company makes no ethical-sourcing claim. C-POLAR markets a materials technology. The manufacturing partners named on the About page are Aero Pro, AQ Filter, BGE Indoor Air Quality Solutions, Olympic International and VOLZ Filters.

The company publishes no supply-chain audit and no labour-practice statement; a record for a partner's own facility sits with that partner.

Can any claim about permanence be reconciled with the documented end-of-life properties of the material?

Permanence describes the property in the media, and the label sets when the article is replaced.

NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request. The label directs that the filter be replaced at the pressure drop or the interval printed on it, whichever comes first. The NanoFlashing page states: “NanoFlashing™ does not fade.” Hong Kong Metropolitan University, Test Report IRITS202112110001, 11 December 2021, ISO 20743. The Validation page lists among the conditions tested “After 60C for 64 days”.

What evidence, beyond the ozone and no-addition wording, supports any claimed environmental or lifetime-cost advantage?

On energy the company publishes one measured building and the energy class on the Eurovent certificate named on the Validation page, and it publishes no lifetime-cost claim.

The Validation page states that “Eurovent certifies the same filter at ISO ePM1 70%, with an A class energy rating”, and names Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011; a rating belongs to the construction that was tested. The Validation page reports measurements at an installation it describes by kind and place, made before and after the air handling unit filters were changed to NanoFlashing™, at a financial landmark in London over six months from March 2024 to September 2024. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” They also state: “Use evidence, specifications, instructions, and warnings specific to the actual finished product and use.” That is one building over one period, measured after a filter change in its own air handling units; it is not an energy figure for another system, another filter configuration or another loading condition.
