Project description

ODORETION researches and develops technological pathways to remedy and prevent unpleasant odors in bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets remedy and prevent them. A strong consortium with complementary know-how and skills will work together to create new value chains with sustainable solutions. These innovative solutions will be more effective than current strategies for controlling bad odor and more sustainable than the toxic and/or less environmentally friendly usually used strategies (e.g. biocides or energy-intensive washing steps). This technology will be used in the finishing of mattress covers and protectors that are less likely to smell, toilet cubes, filtration units and sprays for removing bad odors in toilets and bathrooms.
