WHAT IS ALVAR?
‘’TOTAL PROTECTION’’
The name ALVAR comes from the Icelandic words ''Alveg Varinn'', which can be translated as ‘’total protection’’ in English. It is derived from its success in attacking microbes, reinforcing food safety, and reducing waste of water and chemicals

ALVAR reduces production and reputational risks, increases food safety and reduces waste of water and chemicals. ALVAR Mist Core can disinfect a 6000 square meter processing plant in 15-30 minutes, saving 90% of water, 70% of chemicals and 100% of labour costs during the disinfection process. Lower bacteria levels can, under certain conditions, increase the product shelf-life with the consequent reduction of food-waste
