About R-Zero
R-Zero is the first biosafety technology company to provide a smart, sustainable disinfection ecosystem that improves productivity and health through clinically clean shared spaces.
Infectious diseases cost $575 billion annually in the U.S., with 80% of Americans averaging 4 colds and 28-40 sick days per year.
With millions of people getting sick each year, we should not underestimate the impact of these infections.

Comparing UV-C to air, surface,
and contact disinfection
While other methods of disinfection can prove problematic, UV-C is one of the most effective, efficient, and sustainable types of disinfection on the market. R-Zero combines UV-C with a one-of-a-kind, connected IoT platform to make the invisible disinfection process visible.
Though air disinfection can be an effective pathogen mitigation tactic, it’s dependent on regular filter changes and air changes per hour that cannot be supported by some HVAC systems or certain building types.
Surface disinfection is a very inconsistent, labor-intensive form of disinfection. Harmful chemicals and the need for heavy human involvement in mixing, diluting, and applying solutions make this approach highly inefficient and unsustainable.
Contact disinfection (such as hand hygiene) can be ineffective, unsustainable, and inefficient. This method is extremely prone to human error and requires frequent refills of dispensers.
How R-Zero is different
R-Zero is a biosafety company that combines best-in-class UV-C technology and data to create an ecosystem unparalleled in safety, efficacy, and sustainabilty to fundamentally change the health of any building.
