JUNGLEFY BREATHING WALL
The Junglefy Breathing Wall is Folia Network’s flagship active green wall system, combining planting, airflow, engineering and scientific research to improve indoor environmental quality.
Using a network of small, energy-efficient fans, the system actively moves air through the plant root zone, enhancing the natural process of botanical biofiltration. This allows the wall to remove airborne pollutants faster and more effectively than passive planted systems.
Developed through years of research with the University of Technology Sydney, the Junglefy Breathing Wall is a proven living system designed for projects where nature, wellbeing and measurable environmental performance are central to the brief.

STATISTICS
+50,434m³ of clean air per day1
A 10m² Junglefy Breathing Wall has been measured to produce more than 50,000m³ of cleaned air over a 12-hour period.-95% reduction in VOCs2
Volatile organic compounds are commonly associated with paints, solvents, cleaning products, air fresheners and other indoor pollutants.-90% reduction in PM2.5 particulate matter3
Fine airborne particles including smoke, dust, allergens and diesel-derived pollutants can be captured through active biofiltration.-70% reduction of nitrogen dioxide in a single pass4
Nitrogen dioxide is commonly associated with combustion processes and transport emissions.-40% reduction of ozone in a single pass4
Ground-level ozone can contribute to respiratory irritation and indoor air quality concerns.2× the CO₂ removal rate of a passive green wall3
Active airflow increases contact between air and the planted root zone, improving carbon dioxide removal performance.ENQUIRE
