Environmental footprint and sustainability comparisons

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 Validation page also names Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011, which certifies a ten-pocket bag filter at ISO ePM1 70% with an A class energy rating; a rating belongs to the construction that was tested. The company also states that the filter in use generates no ozone and emits nothing into the air passing through it; that statement is about the air passing through the filter, and it is not a lifecycle measurement.

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

The company publishes no shedding, abrasion, weathering or disposal-release study, and its statement that the filter emits nothing into the air passing through it is about a filter in use, not a shedding result.

The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. The air leaving the filter has had nothing added to it. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest.

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.

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

The company does not publish its composition.

The company publishes no composition, no material list and no amount of anything. What it states about the property is that a charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. A materials review that needs more than the company's published pages is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page.

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

The company publishes no supply-chain audit and no labour-practice statement.

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.

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, tested a spunlace nonwoven against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with reference to BS EN ISO 20743:2013 (transfer method), after accelerated ageing to ASTM F1980-16 for 64 days at 60 °C, and reported: “No significant deterioration of antimicrobial activity was observed after accelerated aging”. It is a contact test on fabric, not an air-filter or airborne result.

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

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

The Validation page names Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011, which certifies a ten-pocket bag filter at ISO ePM1 70% with an A class energy rating; 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. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

What functional unit is used to compare this product's environmental footprint with alternatives?

The company publishes no functional unit, because it publishes no footprint calculation.

The company publishes no lifecycle assessment and no footprint calculation. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. In a forced-air system, the system's own fan moves air through the filter, and its resistance adds to the pressure the fan works against. What an assessment counts, the unit it counts against and the data it uses are set by the person who makes the assessment, and the finished product it covers is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format.
