A Sustainable Approach to Better Air Quality
With the air-Q, we are taking a long-term approach and are committed to durability and reusability. Thanks to high-quality components and interchangeable sensors, the air-Q is designed to be easily repairable and, therefore, built to last. At the same time, we consciously consider our product’s impact on the environment and strive to keep it as low as possible.
Durability
- High-quality brand-name components
- Interchangeable / expandable sensors
- "End of Life"
Sustainability
- Plastic-Free Packaging
- Carbon-Neutral Shipping
- Conscious Selection of Suppliers
Local, fair production ensures quality
The air-Q air analyzer is manufactured at our own facilities. Even so, we cannot do without external suppliers, since, for example, the manufacture and assembly of printed circuit boards are highly specialized tasks. In the production of the air-Q, we rely on local suppliers and service providers—not only for our printed circuit board manufacturing specialists but also for the housing. These short supply chains allow us to constantly monitor quality and collaborate more closely with our partners. Furthermore, this reduces transportation distances and, as a result, helps protect our environment.
Calculated in carbon dioxide
The air-Q consists of several hundred different components. We have calculated our carbon footprint. In total, we are responsible for 5.56 kg of carbon dioxide emissions for a standard air-Q, a very low figure that can only be achieved through a careful selection of components and suppliers. By way of comparison: manufacturing an average smartphone generates about 100 kg of carbon dioxide.
More Trees for Less CO₂ in the Air
The air-Q's very small carbon footprint is already offset by the growth of a tree (beech) in an average of half a year. That's why we plant trees once a year in Germany with our partner PLANT-MY-TREE. We assume an average lifespan of 20 years per tree.
