ST. PAUL, Minn., April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Filtrete™ Brand, the number one trusted brand in residential HVAC air filters, is excited to announce the new Filtrete Refillable Air Filter Kit. This innovative kit addresses common consumer pain points by offering a reusable frame that lasts up to 20 years and a collapsible filter that lasts up to 12 months. The refills are more affordable than traditional filters, reduce storage space by 75 percent, and cut disposable waste by 20 percent – helping consumers achieve cleaner air with a reusable and budget-conscious choice.
Filtrete Technology captures more small particles than standard MERV minimum requirements. The Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR) developed by 3M sets a higher standard for air quality. All Filtrete Air Filters are designed to maintain reliable airflow, helping HVAC systems run efficiently and reduce energy consumption, when changed regularly.
"Filtrete Brand has been dedicated to providing cleaner air for over 30 years," said Cindy Timmerman, vice president of Consumer Safety and Wellbeing at 3M. "Our new refillable air filters offer a solution that saves costs, space, and reduces waste, while ensuring reliable airflow and cleaner air. A small change with a big impact."
The kit includes Filtrete™ MPR 1550 (MERV 12) Refillable Air Filters, which capture 42 percent more microparticles (0.3-1 microns) than the industry standard, effectively removing more allergens, bacteria, and viruses for cleaner indoor air. These filters are also certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly® by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
For added convenience, the new refillable air filters are compatible with the Filtrete Smart App, allowing consumers to store filter details, receive change reminders, and find replacements easily. Filtrete Refillable Air Filters are available in MPR 1550 (MERV 12) and MPR 1000 (MERV 11) at Amazon, Walmart, and Lowes.
According to a study from Sago Brand Health conducted in 2024, Filtrete remains the leading brand in residential air filtration, a status bolstered by their commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.
In a market increasingly focused on sustainability, the Filtrete Refillable Air Filter Kit stands out by not only enhancing air quality but also promoting a greener approach to home maintenance. The reusable frame significantly reduces the need for frequent purchases, thus lowering long-term costs for consumers.
Moreover, the 20% reduction in disposable waste is a crucial step towards addressing environmental concerns associated with traditional air filters. With millions of households relying on air filtration systems, the impact of switching to refillable options could be substantial.
As indoor air quality becomes a growing concern, especially in urban areas, the Filtrete Refillable Air Filter Kit offers a timely solution. The filters' ability to capture a higher percentage of microparticles means that users can breathe easier, knowing they are reducing their exposure to harmful allergens and pollutants.
Filtrete's commitment to cleaner air is reflected not only in their product offerings but also in their ongoing efforts to educate consumers about the importance of regular air filter maintenance. The Filtrete Smart App is another tool designed to help consumers manage their air quality effectively.
With the new refillable filters available at major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Lowes, consumers have easy access to an innovative solution that aligns with both budgetary and environmental goals.
In conclusion, the launch of the Filtrete Refillable Air Filter Kit marks a significant advancement in the air filtration market. By combining convenience, affordability, and sustainability, Filtrete continues to lead the way in providing cleaner air for homes across the country.
