neo p1

Fighting air pollution. One home at a time.

Starting at $179

(Not your average houseplant)

Did you know?

The air in your home is up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air due to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

These include some of the most carcinogenic molecules on the planet — emitted by solvents and varnishes used in most furnishings, textiles, cleaning and personal hygiene products.

Up to 30 times better
than top NASA plants

Starting at $179

Regular plants tested by NASA sometimes capture VOCs, but without a way to recycle them into useful elements they end up accumulating these harmful pollutants. Instead of storing the pollutants Neo P1 is able to turn VOCs into water, sugars, amino acids and oxygen, which makes it a powerful plant, and an elegant way to purify the air. Check-out the graph below to visualise Neo P1's performance against other plants.

VOCs Concentration (Mug/m3) Per Hour

Justification

These results have been obtained by testing the plants in 35L chambers test under continuous flow of Toluene. The average input concentration was of 700 ppb. We then repeated the experiment 3 times for the neoplants and 8 times in total for the other types of plants mentioned above. We used mass balance analysis to generate clean air delivery rate CADR normalized by the weight of the plant (CADRw). We chose to use CADR since it is the metric used to qualify air purifier. We then computed the average CADRw for each category of plant, and simulated the above curves based on these values, assuming a 25 m3 empty chamber with no additional emission and a perfect air circulation, a 1200g plant and an initial concentration equal to the average input concentration used in our experiments. All these experiments have been established with a third-party testing collaboration with Institut Mines Telecom, IMT, a public institution dedicated to higher education and research for innovation.

Power Drops

(Plants don't need filters)

This is how we call our micro organisms ready to be added to Neo P1 in order to keep its air purification performance at the highest level.

We recommend adding one dose of Power Drops every month for maximum performance over time.

    Neo P1 targets the 4 main VOCs present in your home.

    Neo P1 has been bioengineered by our team to efficiently capture and recycle the most dangerous VOCs: formaldehyde, benzene, toluene and xylene. It is the result of cutting edge metabolism engineering and directed evolution of high potential microbiome on a popular houseplant called Epipremnum aureum, also known as Golden Pothos. The combination of these two features enabled us to drastically increase the air purification capabilities of the plant. We've engineered a new era of plants, and Neo P1 is the first of its kind.

    The most air-purifying plant on Earth

    Neo P1 is up to 30 times more powerful than the most depolluting regular houseplants out there.

Feature 1: Metabolism Engineering

Epipremnum aureum (commonly known as Pothos — our foundation to build the Neo P1) possesses one of the highest bioremediation efficacy amongst indoor plants and contains tens of thousands of genes in its DNA. Each gene can be thought of as a line of code, instructing the plant to produce a protein with a specific function, helping its cells to survive and thrive.
Through transgenesis, we inserted a few additional genes, or lines of code, enabeling the plant to produce enzymes with a new function: turning pollutants into plant matter. This is called metabolism engineering.

By introducing these genes, we created two new synthetic metabolic pathways. The first enzymatic pathway turns formaldehyde into fructose, a sugar that the plant uses as food source. The second turns benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene and xylene (BTEX) into an amino acid that the plant uses as building block for its proteins. This enables every one of the plant’s cells to become a natural air purifier.

We make every dollar count for our planet

For every Neo P1 we'll sell, we commit to invest a minimum of $20 into research & development against climate change and we'll give you full transparency on that with a comprehensive yearly report. The presence of CO2 in the atmosphere is one of the major causes of global warming. We believe the only way to solve this urgent issue in a sustainable manner is with biology. Our technologies show massive potential for fighting climate change with Nature and by purchasing our products you can also help us get there.

The Shell

Design

At the crossroads of organic and technical lines, the Shell is beautifully designed to maximise the air exchange between the soil and the room. We’ve worked hard with our partners to choose the most environmentally-friendly materials that can fit our performance constraints. The shell is made of PLA Flax, which is produced from renewable resources and is biodegradable. It was not an instinctive choice, but when we make the math for the planet it was the best option. It will be a thoughtful, functional and elegant addition to your interior space.


Airflow

The shell is designed to allow maximum air intake, bringing the polluted air in contact with the microbiome-rich soil while increasing root growth and Neo P1’s health.

Maintenance

It is cleverly designed with a water reservoir to maintain optimal health of the plant and provide you maximum convenience - you only have to water Neo P1 once every 3 weeks during winter, and once every 2 weeks over summer.

Soil

The soil of Neo P1 is optimised for its air-purification performance, the neoplant's health and the planet thanks to one special ingredient: biochar. It helps the plant grow, provides niches for our microbiome to flourish and is a way to store CO2 out of the atmosphere.
