If you’ve seen a moss wall out and about or on the internet, it’s most likely preserved moss, which is no longer living. Other moss companies use preserved moss. Preserved or fake moss is treated with chemicals, gives off a strong chemical smell, and needs frequent replacement and maintenance.
Moss Pure was founded at an MIT startup competition in June 2020 where it won First Place Startup. It is the world’s only company to use 100% live moss as a patented air filter and stress relief device using an award-winning design and decades of expertise in biology and engineering. Due to the complex, patented science behind Moss Pure’s design, Moss Pure’s living moss does not need watering, maintenance, or sunlight and is built to last for years within the product design. Moss Pure is the only plant-based product in the world to be ASTM and ISO certified for air quality by a third-party US laboratory.
The reason why Moss Pure’s living moss systems last is because of the company’s invention. The Founder and CEO invented a novel living moss wall system and living environment during a startup competition at MIT in June 2020 where the invention won First Place. This invention provides the living moss with its needed nutrients, including moisture and water within our product itself. Moss Pure has living moss walls installions nationwide since 2021 that are still alive and thriving without needing watering, sunlight, or maintenance.
Unlike other moss wall companies that attach a logo on top of fake or preserved moss, Moss Pure is a nationally recognized sign maker and uses engineering and art to create clients’ logos in-house. Then, the company assembles and integrates the logos within their multi-layered biological air filter, living moss, and engineering. This technique also gives an elevated 3D aesthetic of their clients’ logo and brand being incorporated within Moss Pure’s 3D living moss terrain.
Moss Pure primarily works with Fortune 1000 companies, corporate offices, luxury hospitality groups, architects, developers, healthcare facilities, high-end residential projects, and clients seeking exclusive, scientifically engineered living moss installations.
Moss Pure’s live moss walls are custom fabricated luxury pieces that combine aesthetically pleasing, high-end design, patented and proprietary science, and air filtration technology. Because of the complexity, craftsmanship, and engineering involved, Moss Pure is best suited for clients who value innovation, long-term quality, aesthetics, and premium materials over low-cost decorative alternatives such as preserved moss walls or traditional plant walls that are low quality and do not last a year without needing replacement. Because Moss Pure is a much higher quality product than other moss walls out there (and is engineered to LAST), the living moss wall air filtration systems are typically priced higher than preserved moss wall art and traditional plant walls.

FAQs
What is the difference between Moss Pure’s live moss and preserved moss walls?
Moss Pure uses 100% living moss that remains biologically active within its engineered system, while preserved moss is no longer alive and is typically treated with chemicals that require replacement over time.
Does Moss Pure require watering or sunlight?
No. Moss Pure’s system is designed to sustain living moss internally, so it does not require external watering, sunlight, or routine maintenance.
How long does a Moss Pure installation last?
Moss Pure installations are engineered to last for years, with living moss maintained through a patented internal system that supports long-term viability.
