What Ozo Innovations does

Ozo Innovations Ltd is a UK-based (Kidlington, Oxfordshire) sustainable hygiene solutions company founded in 2012. Originally a gaseous ozone business, it pivoted in 2015 to in-situ electrochemistry, electrolyzing food-grade salt and cold water to produce eloclear, a combined cleaner and disinfectant (pH ~9.0, 1,800–2,100 ppm, 20–25°C) that replaces traditional multi-step chemical cleaning regimes in food manufacturing. The company operates as Ozo Innovations Ltd (private limited company) and is led by CEO Dr Mark Poole, with Non-Executive Chairman Piers Clark (founder of Isle Utilities) and director William V. Hickey (former Chair and CEO of Sealed Air Corporation / Diversey).

Its product offering is a three-component ecosystem. eloclear is the on-site generated cleaning and disinfection solution; elosystem is a scalable, fully automated electrochemical generator (up to 150,000 L/day per unit) delivered in sea containers and installed at customer sites; eloinform is a cloud-based operations control platform providing remote monitoring, telemetry, usage and audit reporting, stock management and billing. Technology has independent efficacy validation against bacteria, yeast, fungi, mould and enveloped viruses including SARS-CoV-2, and is compliant with EU BPR (Article 95 listing for PT2/PT4), UK BPR, and US EPA (pesticide device determination).

Ozo sells to enterprise food manufacturers through direct field sales, running pilot trials and full factory validations before installing hardware on-site. Revenue mechanics combine hardware sale or lease of the elosystem, ongoing usage-based supply of eloclear (consumable chemistry produced on-site), and managed services including remote monitoring and support. Documented customer outcomes from a savoury-snack pilot include >30% reduction in hygiene cycle time, >70% reduction in water consumption and >80% reduction in energy for hot water production. Named enterprise relationships include PepsiCo (pilot at Carregado, Portugal), Marks & Spencer (terminal sanitiser approval, supported by Campden BRI), and an unnamed savoury snack manufacturer. Geographic reach covers the UK, EU member states and Portugal, with regulatory groundwork laid for the US and Canada.

Core offering

Ozo Innovations manufactures and sells the elosystem™, a scalable on-site electrochemical generator that converts food-grade salt and water into eloclear™, a combined cleaner and disinfectant solution, for food manufacturing and industrial hygiene customers. The elosystem hardware is paired with eloinform™, a cloud-based operations control platform that provides remote monitoring, telemetry, usage reporting, and supply management. Systems are delivered to customer sites in sea containers with installation support, remote monitoring, and ongoing managed services.

Product overview

Ozo Innovations offers a three-product ecosystem for smart and sustainable hygiene solutions. The core offering consists of eloclear (a combined cleaner and disinfectant generated on-site from salt and water), produced by the elosystem electrochemical generator hardware, and supplemented by eloinform cloud-based monitoring and data analytics software. The elosystem hardware produces eloclear at customer sites, while eloinform provides remote monitoring, telemetry, and reporting capabilities for operational control.

• eloinform™

Products and services

• eloclear™ A combined cleaner and disinfectant manufactured on-site at customer facilities from food-grade salt and water via electrolysis. Produced at 20-25°C with a pH of ~9.0 at a ready-to-use concentration of 1,800-2,100 ppm. Functions as a single-step cleaning and disinfection solution for hard surfaces in food manufacturing environments, eliminating chemical additives and surfactants. Approved by M&S as a terminal sanitiser.
• elosystem™ An electrochemical generator that produces eloclear on-site at customer facilities. Scalable system capable of producing up to 150,000 liters per day, delivered in sea containers containing the generating system, salt saturator, storage tanks, and fluid distribution system. Fully automated with on-board sensors and remote monitoring capabilities for food manufacturing and industrial hygiene applications.
• eloinform™ A secure cloud-based operations control system for elosystem customers that provides full remote monitoring and telemetry, real-time performance monitoring, usage reports for business strategy and third-party audits, eloclear stock and supply management, and customer data, feedback, and billing information.
