The anti-pollution system called Clean Air – that is being used by the likes of Hollywood Monster, Octink and RMC Digital Print – has been confirmed as complying with ISO standards 22197-1 after six months of simulated weather impact following testing at the International Photocatalyst Standards testing centre at Queen’s University in Belfast.
Clean Air can absorb up to 222mg a day of NOx (shorthand for the nitrogen oxides most relevant for air pollution and particularly problematic in high-traffic urban areas) from just 1m2 of an exterior coated surface, including outdoor print.

Shajjad Rizvi, CEO at developer Resysten, said: “We believe this is a game changer in the fight against air pollution, which costs up to 4,000 lives a year in London alone. The Clean Air coating can be applied easily and safely and is highly cost-effective. This, combined with continually improved and increasingly more sustainable public transport networks that reduce the need for cars for personal use, will help bring about a massive change for the better in our cities. We are looking forward to starting this new adventure by bringing Clean Air by Resysten to the UK market before expanding worldwide.“
Resysten has created a joint venture in the UK with Clean Air Global to sell the product.Â
