The cannabis industry faces many challenges in ensuring the safety and quality of its products, especially from airborne contaminants that can affect both plant health and employee wellness. To address this issue, Willow Industries, the leader in cannabis decontamination technology and microbial control services, has introduced a new air filtration system called Willow Air.
How Does Willow Air Work?
Willow Air is a MERV 13-rated system that can capture and remove airborne contaminants as small as 0.3 microns. These include ground cannabis dust, respiratory irritants, and airborne pathogens like Aspergillus, which can cause serious infections in humans and plants. By filtering the air in cultivation environments, Willow Air reduces the risk of inhalation hazards, microbial burden, and cross-contamination.
Each Willow Air unit can efficiently filter 10,000 cubic feet of air, while powerful fans achieve five air changes per hour, ensuring optimal airflow for growing conditions. The system is adaptable and scalable and can be installed in various operational areas, such as grow rooms, post-harvest production, packaging, and office spaces. Unlike other air filtration systems, Willow Air does not rely on UV, ozone, or other adaptive components that may have adverse effects on the environment or the product.
The Benefits of Willow Air
Willow Air offers multiple benefits for the cannabis industry, such as:
- Employee wellness: Willow Air protects employees from inhaling harmful substances that can cause respiratory problems, allergies, infections, or other health issues. By providing a safer and cleaner workplace, Willow Air also enhances employee morale and productivity.
- Plant quality: Willow Air prevents airborne contaminants from affecting the quality and safety of cannabis plants, which can result in lower yields, reduced potency, or failed testing. By maintaining a clean environment throughout the cultivation process, Willow Air ensures consistent and compliant products that meet consumer expectations and regulatory standards.
- Innovation and excellence: Willow Air demonstrates Willow Industries’ commitment to innovation and excellence in the cannabis industry. The company, which is known for its cannabis decontamination technology and microbial control services, has once again engineered a science-backed and cost-effective solution to the evolving needs of the industry. Willow Air supports the company’s mission of consumer safety and product quality, as well as its vision of a sustainable and clean-energy future.

Willow Industries has launched an online store that provides easy access to purchase Willow Air, as well as other products and services that help cannabis cultivators establish and maintain a clean and successful growing environment. The online store, called “Clean Cannabis Essentials”, is curated by microbiology and quality assurance experts, and features tools from industry-leading companies that are dedicated to GMP-focused standards.
