Abstract :Knowledge regarding the power of ultraviolet light to kill various bacteria and viruses has existed for some time. Even prior to the onslaught of the Covid-19 virus, scientists were busy studying various types of UV light and how it might be applied to a wide variety of sanitization applications. Initially driven by the desire to effectively apply UV light to quickly sanitize airport security bins, Steribin was founded prior to the emergence of the Covid pandemic. It has since expanded into a number of sanitization applications, utilizing all of forms of UV technology, with a primary focus on sanitization needs in travel-related applications.Keywords : Air travel, Luggage bins, Sanitation, uv-light
