Molekule

Air purification using PECO and HEPA

Overview

Molekule makes air purifiers for homes, schools, and businesses. They use PECO and HEPA filtration to capture and destroy pollutants such as viruses, mold, wildfire smoke, and pet dander. The technology is validated by studies from the University of Florida and the University of South Florida, and the company partners with AeroClean Technologies to improve indoor air quality; products are sold directly online and through retailers, with replacement-filter subscriptions for recurring revenue. The goal is to provide cleaner air in every room and home, supporting healthier indoor environments.
