FILTRUM
Latin: Piece of felt used to remove impurities.
Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, FILTRUM is a leading materials science company specialising in sustainable, high performance personal protective equipment (PPE). FILTRUM is a spinoff company from AusAir, which was founded in 2017 alongside the University of Sydney to develop novel, sustainable filtration technologies. Recognised for our innovative technology we have won a host of awards including The University of Sydney’s Annual Innovation Award, the Sydney Genesis Award, and the Medical and Scientific Good Design Award.
During the COVID-19 pandemic we worked with The NSW Ministry of Health and the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer (OCSE) to address the issue of exorbitant waste as a result of discarded PPE. The project included working with multiple stakeholders from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) , Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Clinical Excellence Committee (CEC) and HealthShare NSW. The result is our ZERO range of PPE products, co-designed by healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals. TGA registered, ZERO products offer high performance and are biodegradable in landfill.
All co-founders were recognised as leading young entrepreneurs in Asia in Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2022. AusAir’s technology roadmap and story is permanently housed in the iconic Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, in which innovative and contemporary Australian designs are displayed.
