Client News
United Airlines
United airlines will apply a once-weekly ZOONO® Surface Sanitiser/Protectant treatment throughout its fleet.
During weekly overnight deep cleanings, United Airlines will deploy the NovaRover robot to apply mist that coats surfaces in a 12-foot radius with a single spray application.
When explaining the move to stop electrostatically spraying every jet before departure, United Airlines told TPG that:
"Every week United protects all of its aircraft with the ZOONO® antimicrobial surface treatment. ZOONO® Microbe Shield creates a 24/7, ongoing protective barrier that kills microorganisms on surfaces throughout our aircraft. It creates a hostile environment for microorganisms to live on. ZOONO® is EPA registered and water-based.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, United has been an industry leader committed to delivering new and innovative solutions to ensure a safer onboard experience for its customers and employees."
Porter Airlines Inc healthy flights program includes extensive cleaning and application of ZOONO® for long lasting protection.
The Canadian based airline fogs their planes every 25 days with ZOONO®, an electrostatic spray that continuously kills 99.9% of bacteria. This process disinfects the surfaces inside the plane and continues to protect them for up to 30 days based on thorough testing which is conducted on an ongoing basis. This technology is approved by Health Canada | Santé Canada and by Transport for London to ensure safe passage for their passengers.
ZOONO® is applied throughout the place, including high traffic touchpoints such as tray tables, overhead compartments and seatbelts.
The team and crew members ensure the plane is in top shape for all travellers to ensure you are protected throughout your journey.
The London Underground has been using ZOONO® since the pandemic began, and have been conducting tests to ensure the effectiveness of ZOONO®. The tests consisted of swabbing heavily touched areas, such as escalator hand railing, as well as air samples were taken to ensure the virus wasn't airborne.
Imperial College London researchers examined the results of the tests - which took place in January and June - and found "no coronavirus contamination of any surface or airborne virus particles."
Rob Mole, senior programme manager for Network Rail's response to the pandemic, said the test results were "proof" the "dedicated approach" by station cleaning teams and train staff to keep passengers safe had worked.
We are pleased to announce that ZOONO® has been invited to participate in the China Southern Airline Program, a promotional project jointly organised by China Southern Airlines and the New Zealand Trade Development Board.
Every China Southern Airlines passenger returning to China from New Zealand will receive an Epidemic Prevention Pack.
ZOONO® will provide approximately 10,000 Hand Sanitiser Pens (10ML), for each passenger to use while travelling , to help prevent the spread of bacteria among passengers.
China Southern Airlines is one of the worlds largest airlines and a member of the "SkyTeam", with more than 2000 flights every day to 208 destinations in 40 different countries.
Test Results
Testing on Microsoft's buildings.
Independent third-parties conducted testing on the Microsoft buildings that have been treated with ZOONO® and concluded that after five weeks and only one application of ZOONO® Microbe Shield Surface Protectant, there has been a 75% reduction in contamination.
These results are excellent, as throughout the entire testing process the treated areas stayed within the "safe zone", which is also considered "food safe" and Microsoft are now a customer.
Auckland Grammar - Absenteeism Results
Since schools have been back from lockdowns in 2020, many have implemented ZOONO® into their daily hygiene protocols.
Auckland Grammar School reports that they have shown a decrease in absenteeism from 8% down to 4% after using ZOONO® to help protect their students and staff.
Brazil Test Results
Further test results confirm ZOONO® Z-71 effectiveness. In the process of finalising the product approvals in Brazil, further testing of Z-71 Microbe Shield was conducted to European standard EN14476:2019 and ASTM E1053 - 11, by the Virology Laboratory institute of Biology, State University Campus UNICAMP, Brazil (one of the most highly regarded institutes in Brazil.)
With the lockdowns dragging out across Australia and New Zealand, ZOONO®’s online store is playing an important role to get products out to communities and help prevent the spread.
Our dispatch centres have been working around the clock to send out thousands of orders. Our most popular items over the last month have been our Triple Layer Masks and Hand Sanitiser.
Our Skin & Surface Sanitiser Wipes have also been a popular choice for our
New Zealand and International online customers.

Deal of the Month
Russia
Russia has just placed its 3rd order for $1.5 million comprising of consumer products and bulk liquid to be delivered in late October in to St Petersburg.
ZOONO® is also a part of The International Forum and Exhibition of Technological Development "TECHNOPROM", which is the largest technological event in Russia. Not only are we exhibiting our products there, but we were also tasked of sanitising the entire centre!
Media and News
An article featuring ZOONO® that touches on how ZOONO® antimicrobial technology is bridging the gap between routine cleaning cycles by modifying skin and surfaces against bacteria and viruses. The article features on HealthEuropa.eu, a well respected website.
With the Covid-19 Delta variant having made its way to New Zealand, we are currently experiencing a new wave of cases and subsequently have been put into lockdown.
Our online sales on the New Zealand store have been doing extremely well since the news of the new cases, with over $80,000 in sales in a week alone.
Australia
Australia is reporting record cases daily, and in the last week, online sales on our Australian store have increased by over 700%.
Partnership with Royal Wolf

Annual Report
Financial Data Summary
Customer Highlights
Fine Hygienic Holdings
"Following the success of our Fine Guard Masks line, we strongly endorsed extended life disinfection as a powerful idea for the global consumer. Why disinfect conventionally which lasts merely minutes, when you can rest assured of longer- lasting germ protection? So, as a company that embraces open source technology, we embarked on a global search for best available technologies and partners. Zoono was the clear choice for FHH. Great technology, coupled with an amazing team, and a pedigree of customer satisfaction and independent third-party testing. The Zoono partnership is a pillar of FHH’s future growth and IPO plans.
We see the current Covid-19 pandemic as a crucible moment in the world of disinfection. The world will shift away from “instant, short-term disinfection” provided by simple technologies like alcohol-based products, to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from long-lasting disinfection technologies like Zoono. And we envision Zoono at the forefront of this technological shift.
One of the most impressive things about Zoono is the literal plethora of independent third-party studies on the efficacy of the technology. As we began our global expansion, we encountered many governmental authorities who were intrigued by the possibilities and yet wanted to do their own independent verification. In every instance, the efficacy of Zoono products was validated and we had yet another convinced audience!
In FHH, we currently sell actively in over 80 countries worldwide. We see our Fine Guard Line, leveraging Zoono technology, as the backbone of extending this reach to a target 100 countries by end-2022.
We have sold some of the world’s most prestigious customers. On the at-home side, we are listing into the world’s leading retailers such as Carrefour in multiple countries with excellent results. Institutionally, we have sold such high-profile customers as Dubai Coca-Cola Arena, Hotel properties ranging from Marriott to Kempinski, and leading restaurants and businesses in major global business hubs from Dubai to Dusseldorf."
During the year, the Dubai Central Laboratory Department undertook testing on ZOONO's Z-71 Microbe Shield Surface Sanitiser observing a complete reduction of test bacteria (99.9%) on all provided material surfaces over 30 days from the initial coating except in rubber and wood surfaces. The rubber and wood surface has some viable growth on the 30th day with a reduction of 90% of test bacteria.
Following receipt of the positive test results and the Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (ESMA) Certificate of Conformity, ZOONO® entered into a supply agreement during the quarter with Fine Hygienic Paper LLC,
a FMCG business based in the UAE, which allows them to develop and sell their own label products utilising ZOONO's Antimicrobial Technology into their 70-country network around the globe. Fine Hygienic have already placed orders for NZ$1.5m for the Middle East and NZ$263k for the EU.
China
In China, ZOONO® has reshaped its business, via a presence in the market, to be based in Shanghai and managed locally by ZOONO's Chinese Regional Manager, Michael Wu. ZOONO® intends to take direct control of its China business and build a business development team specifically for that business.
During the year, China Health Committee advised that ZOONO's hand sanitiser and Femme products have been granted registration and sales approval for imported disinfection products in China. In addition to the previously approved surface sanitiser (All Purpose), ZOONO® now has three products that have
been approved for sale by the Chinese government. Among them, the hand and surface products belong to a class of disinfectants that can be used in hospitals.
ZOONO® was selected as the only disinfection and antibacterial product on the procurement platform designated by the Chinese Government where state- owned enterprises purchase their office supplies and employee welfare products. Currently, the platform recommends ZOONO® hand sanitiser 50ml as the main product to be responding to the current epidemic.
ZOONO® has signed three (3) new distribution agreements in China, with NZ$10m in minimum contracted sales targets over the next 18 months. One agreement is in the textile sector, another is in the hospital and medical sector and the third is in the online sales sector. Additional agreements are under negotiation.
ZOONO® is part of the China Southern Airlines Program, a promotional project jointly organised by China Southern Airlines and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise.
ZOONO® will provide approximately 10,000 Hand Sanitiser Pens (10mL), one for each passenger to use while travelling, to help prevent the spread of bacteria among passengers.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continued
additional testing of ZOONO's Z-71 surface sanitiser during the year for a new, standalone registration in the US that would allow ZOONO® to make 30-day human COVID claims. We are awaiting results, however, due to the pandemic there have been delays due to the increased amount of studies being done at these laboratories.
Several US Airlines are now purchasing ZOONO® products following the uptake by
United Airlines, as are Greyhound buses, First Group, and several School Districts. A number of companies are undertaking their own trials, with positive results to date and the new Californian distributor placed orders for NZ$702k in December 2020.
Australia & New Zealand
ZOONO® continues to receive regular orders from Australia and New Zealand from all current sectors in B2B and B2C. While B2C is important, particularly for brand awareness, the B2B sector remains the primary focus and ZOONO® has gained a number of new customers, in particular from the transport industry (trains, metro and airports).
One of the large facilities groups ZOONO® works with has secured a supply agreement for the Australian Defence Force with supply now rolled out to 11 bases and a further five bases in train before it is rolled out to other defence buildings, including administration.
Canada
In Canada, ZOONO® remains in full compliance with regulation under Health Canada. It is currently in the pre-submission phase for a New Drug Submission for the international formulation of Z-71 Microbe Shield. Laboratory testing associated with this application is ongoing and coordinated with the US EPA registration process.
Sales continue in Canada with a number of active customers placing regular orders and a number of new customers in the on-boarding phase. ZOONO® Canada has also undertaken a number of pilots with potential clients who are also expected to place orders.
Porter Airlines Inc. Healthy Flights Program includes an extensive cleaning and applying ZOONO® for long last protection. The planes are fogged every 25 days with ZOONO®, an electrostatic spray that continuously kills 99.9% of bacteria.
India
ZOONO® has recently appointed a new Mumbai based distributor for India. It has placed an initial order for 100,000 litres. Steps have also been taken in this jurisdiction to minimise price gouging which was a major issue with the previous distributor.
Zoono Animal Health
Trials continued during the year in relation to the ZOONO® Microbe Shield product for which we have the exclusive licence for veterinary and agricultural applications in the USA.
The application of ZOONO® Microbe Shield has been demonstrated after 21 days applied to a surface to provide a significant reduction in the levels of porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDv) and porcine reproduction and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv), which are significant issues in the North American pig industry.
