Preserving Roses with Bipolar Ionisation Technology

Bioclimatic has introduced bipolar ionisation technology to the storage facilities of a rose-growing company, addressing a critical challenge in the industry: contamination by Botrytis cinerea, commonly known as grey mould.
Botrytis thrives in the cool, humid conditions of cold storage, where freshly harvested roses are kept before distribution. Left untreated, it can rapidly destroy large quantities of flowers, leading to significant financial losses. Traditional methods like chemical treatments or over-cooling often fall short of addressing the issue sustainably.
Bioclimatic’s bipolar ionisation provides an effective solution. By releasing charged ions into the air, this technology neutralises airborne mould spores, including Botrytis, preventing their spread. Besides, the process is chemical-free, energy-efficient and safe, ensuring a cleaner storage environment without compromising flower quality.
As a result, roses stay fresher for longer, maintaining their vibrant appearance and fragrance until they reach consumers. This not only enhances product quality but also reduces waste and contributes to a more sustainable supply chain.
