Tatama’s self-renewing system removes pathogens*, harmful airborne particulates, and wildfire smoke making it an excellent choice for schools
CAMBRIDGE, MA – Metalmark, a climate tech company developing the next generation of air filtration products, has a solution to address the pressing issue of indoor air quality in schools. Metalmarks Tatama Air Cleaner is the world’s first self-renewing air cleaner, designed for commercial buildings. With schools racing against time to utilize ESSER III Funds to maintain the safe opening of schools as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Metalmark offers an energy and cost-saving solution to reducing pathogens* and other indoor air pollutants.
“This is a game-changer,” said Sissi Liu, CEO and co-founder of Metalmark. “Tatama not only cleans the air but does so sustainably and with low maintenance which is really resonating with schools both from an operations standpoint with its self-renewing ability and for potential health benefits for everyone spending time in a school environment.”
First inspired by the nanostructures of the metalmark butterfly’s wings, Metalmark creates products that tackle climate, sustainability, and health challenges. Tatama removes harmful airborne particulates like pathogens* and wildfire smoke while offering drastically lower maintenance than other commercial air cleaners.
Metalmark’s innovative design aligns perfectly with its commitment to creating sustainable solutions from nanoscale up. Schools can invest ESSER III Funds into improving indoor air quality with Tatama Air Cleaner for long-term benefits such as reduced HVAC energy use.
“Tatama is more than just an air cleaner – it’s a revolution in clean indoor air technology,” adds Liu. “It can provide real-time IAQ data insights and smart operations for cleaner air quality with minimal maintenance.”
Tatama’s patented technology was named a winner of the US EPAs Cleaner Indoor Air
During Wildfires Challenge. Made with a HEPA-grade filter; it captures 99.97+% of particulate matter, without byproduct emissions, as validated by the EPA’s testing with smoke. About once a month, the system cleans its filter to enable up to five years of useful life. This results in low cost of ownership, maintenance, and waste generation while providing cleaner indoor air with a number of health and economic benefits.
