Histoire de auum

Our commitments
and our history

Stop Single Use Now

Our story begins with a sad fact: in France, we still consume more than 5 billion disposable cups a year. 

 


Cleaning is a chore, and rather than washing and reusing, people prefer to throw things away. In a world where resources are limited, we need to find new solutions. Three years ago, four people - Clément, Maxime, Mathieu and Thomas - decided to tackle this problem.

 


How ? By revolutionising existing cleaning technologies. 

 


This is how auum was born.

cleaning for better reuse

Our mission?  To help businesses stop using disposable cups, thanks to an eco-responsible technological solution.
 

 

Our aim is to get people to adopt new ways of doing things that are healthier and more sustainable, and that means modernising cleaning techniques.

Our manifesto

It's time to take action for our planet.

To finally combine performance and responsibility.

To draw a line under single use.

 

At auum, we aim to have a real impact on the world around us.

To propose concrete solutions.

To change the way things are done.

 

That's why we support companies in their CSR initiatives.

How ? With an ecological, fast and effective cleaning solution.

 

For us, the future can be summed up in two words: clean to reuse.

The story behind our name

As well as being the acronym of our slogan "Arrêtons l'Usage unique Maintenant" (‘Stop Single-Use Now’), our name has its origins in Hindu culture. In Sanskrit, the syllable Aum [Om] represents the vibration made by the universe at its creation. The three letters that make up this syllable each have a specific meaning:

 

‘A’ for the beginning, birth.

‘U’ for continuity, life

‘M’ for the end and death. 

 

We have taken this symbol and added an extra ‘U’ to represent a new life, a life without a single use.

"It's time for single use to stop endangering our planet. In a world of finite resources, we need to find new solutions."

3 years of R&D...

To reinvent cleaning, we set out to find the most effective solution to the problem of single use. Our patented Dual technology is the result of 3 years of R&D. We have studied steam technologies to offer the best possible cleaning, using the least amount of water and no chemicals.

 


Our auum-S machine is the result of years of work and several prototypes.
