Sustainability is taking a concrete step forward in industrial filtration with the introduction of renewable polypropylene in selected meltblown filter cartridges.

This new generation of filters uses polypropylene produced from a combination of fossil-based feedstocks and renewable raw materials derived from waste vegetable oils, such as used cooking oils that would otherwise be discarded. The result is a material offering identical performance to traditional polypropylene, while significantly reducing environmental impact.

From a technical and commercial standpoint, product specifications, part numbers and performance remain unchanged. This makes renewable polypropylene filters a true “drop-in” solution, allowing plant manufacturers and end users to improve their sustainability profile without modifying existing processes or applications.

The environmental benefits are tangible and measurable. Replacing one tonne of standard polypropylene with renewable polypropylene can prevent at least 2.1 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. In practical terms, each 30” filter cartridge manufactured using renewable polypropylene results in a CO₂ saving of approximately 1 kg, calculated in accordance with internationally recognised Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards (ISO 14004 and ISO 14040).

Filters made from renewable polypropylene are sourced from ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) certified manufacturing sites, ensuring full traceability of raw materials and a reduced carbon footprint throughout the product lifecycle.

A concrete solution that helps companies meet their sustainability and ESG targets, while maintaining the high quality and performance required in industrial water treatment applications.
