Adsorbi, a Gothenburg, Sweden-based startup developing bio-based materials for air pollutants and odour removal, raised €1M in funding.
The round was led by Metsä Spring, Chalmers Ventures, Jovitech Invest, and a grant from Sweden’s Innovation Agency.
The company intends to use the funds to construct and operate a pilot plant in Gothenburg, develop new products, and grow its customer base.
Founded in 2022 from research in applied chemistry at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, ansd led by CEO Hanna Johansson, Adsorbi has developed high-performing material, derived from Nordic tree cellulose, designed for targeted pollutant capture, including key nitrogen oxides like nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) – major contributors to air pollution – as well as acids and aldehydes. Aldehydes are commonly found in cosmetics, perfumes, cleaning products, odourant dispensers, and grooming aids. This means Adsorbi’s patented material can be used wherever gaseous air pollutants are a problem – in air filters, products that remove odours, and in museums to protect artefacts and works of art.
Adsorbi already has a growing customer base and industry collaborations.
