Purification and Protection - How innovative solutions are making filtration more sustainable
There is a growing global demand for safe and healthy indoor environments, from homes to workplaces and vehicles. That means protection against contaminants – such as particles, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals – both in the air we breathe and the liquids we rely on. We explore the main aspects of sustainability arising throughout the filtration life cycle with examples of innovative specialty materials solutions, and discuss the power of sustainable filtration to support other industries in reducing their carbon footprints.
