NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The global COVID-19 pandemic has fueled the need for disinfection while simultaneously increasing the exposure to hazardous chemicals and large amounts of medical waste. Effective UV-C disinfection systems have gained traction due to their ability to not only mitigate the waste produced from manual disinfection, but also eliminate upwards to 50% more germs than manual cleaning methods. Increased demand for biosafe and clean health and physical spaces has accelerated the adoption of UV-C disinfection systems. The growing market value for the technology was $4.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to rise to $9.2 billion by 2026. UV-C disinfection offers a solution to divert millions of tons of waste from landfills, reduce greenhouse gases emissions, and reduce human health hazards related to the use of chemical disinfectants.

This webinar will provide insights into the growing biosafety industry and the growth of UV-C Technology along with its many applications. Featured speakers include R-Zero Sustainability and Government Affairs Lead Kevin Samy, Toxics Use Reduction Institute’s Laboratory Director Jason Marshall, and Boundless Impact Senior Research Analyst Fernanda Avila Swinburn. Please join us for this important discussion about indoor environmental health.

Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT
