aquama® and its eco-responsible cleaning solution
“Sanitize yourself, clean this up and wash this up”, especially today with the epidemic around the world, these are words that have intruded into our habits. But have we thought about the negative impact this could have on the environment? It is true that the general concern has instead turned to the pollution generated by the face masks, while the pollution caused by cleaning and disinfection has taken up very little space. While in reality, even outside of the epidemic context, it is equally worrisome, because chemical and toxic cleaning products used mainly in households as well as in large areas are not the most harmless for our soils et waterways.
But is there an alternative to the usual cleaning? Well, aquama®’s answer is yes, there is one. aquama® is a Swiss start-up that offers a disinfection and cleaning solution based on water and electrified salts. This disinfectant and detergent is biodegradable, 100% natural and without any hazard pictograms.
Cleaning with water, salt and electricity?
Exactly, the hydrolysis process used by aquama® consists in the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen through an electric current. The final product is an inexhaustible and ecological bactericide.
Amazing, isn’t it? Clean up without polluting and with just electrified salt and water? And yet, this process is patented and certified by the FOPH (Federal Office of Public Health) for its effectiveness in all situations (hands, surfaces, medical environment, agri-food, public, etc.). And yes, because in addition to matching the quality of traditional disinfectants and detergents, this solution works on all surfaces that support water.
This start-up is aimed at individuals and companies from all sectors (hotels, restaurants, transport, health, education, etc.) which want to benefit from these hydrolyzed solutions at relatively low cost for detergency and disinfection while acting in favor of sustainability and ecology.
Protecting the ecosystem is central to all the solutions and services aquama® developed
The cleaning solution is 100% natural and biodegradable.
These solutions replace 70-80% of the usual disinfection and detergency products.
They promote waste reduction by reducing the drastic use of chemicals.
They facilitate the reduction of water use and the considerable reduction of the carbon footprint.
aquama® and its cleaning solution were already adopted at Geneva Airport and the Royal Léman Yacht Club. Indeed, since the Yacht Club is in direct contact with the water of the lake, it must be careful not to release any pollutant in the lake as well as in the port, which is why the alternative offered by a 100% biodegradable cleaning product is adopted with optimism. This is an example that we all should take.
