Description

Kristalna Ideja ltd. was established in 2013 with the main purpose of identifying, researching and developing solutions that significantly contribute to the quality of life by reducing environmental pollutants. The primary focus is analysing, supervising, and acting on air pollution threats. In 2018 the company developed innovative modular iTherapy® interior air purification technology which became our base for existing products. Encouraged by success, in 2021, the company started to develop technology for ambient air purification to achieve full air management cycle control. The next step for the company is to implement green technology into production and business management. 

Currently the company is using air filters bought from abroad (China) for its air purifiers. The purpose of this project is to establish air filter production in company’s premises and switch to innovative bio-based air filters. That will be acomplished by purchasing new machines. Label for bio-based product is also planed for gaining the consumer trust. Investment in equipment for production of bio-based filters will lead to implementation of new technologies and will increase the competitiveness of the company. It will also differentiate and expand company’s product portfolio on the market by new labeled bio-based product, which will lead to increased revenue and profit for the company. By implementing this project, company''s production capacity and efficiency will grow and the carbon footprint per unit air filter will be reduced due to avoided long transport from China. Waste material will be reduced due to avoided damage that happens regularly in transport.
