Five reasons why a Blueair air purifier is a planet-friendly choice
Cleaner indoor air
Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Blueair air purifiers, thanks to the unique HEPASilent™ technology, improve air quality in your home by effectively removing up to 99.97% of unwanted pollutants such as bacteria and viruses, allergens, pollen, mould and pet dander as small as 0.1 microns from the air. This means that you and your family can breathe clean air and avoid the negative effects of poor air quality, such as allergy symptoms, respiratory problems, and other health issues.
Energy efficiency
Using no more power than a single light bulb, choosing a Blueair air purifier means you can enjoy clean and fresh air without anxiety about energy usage and carbon emissions. The power consumption ranges from 5 to 20 watts on low and 10 to 120 watts on high, depending on the model you choose.
Low noise
Thanks to their quiet operation, you can enjoy clean air without any distracting noise. Many of Blueair’s air purifiers have the Quiet Mark seal of approval. This is especially important for those who need to use the air purifier in a bedroom, home office, shared space, or other quiet areas where noise pollution is an issue.
Responsible materials
Manufactured with responsible materials, including FSC-certified packaging, Blueair offers a product that allows you to enjoy clean air with minimal environmental impact.
Giving back to the planet through activism
Each time you buy one of Blueair’s air purifiers, you are contributing to an important cause: the fight for the right to breathe clean air around the world. Blueair runs multiple global initiatives and has been donating air purifiers to support schools and organisations. Most recently, its Freedom to Breathe campaign, in partnership with NGO Global Action Plan, has resulted in the UN acknowledging a child’s right to clean air after receiving nearly 30,000 signatures from concerned children worldwide.
By choosing a Blueair air purifier, you can enjoy clean air with minimal environmental impact. With its energy efficiency, improved air quality, low noise, responsible materials, it's the obvious choice for those who care about their health and the planet.
