This is common practice in emerging countries. I actually have an SAE paper here where they tested various methods to clean and reuse OEM paper filters. The best way to do it is to tap it a couple times on a flat surface, then blow it from the clean side with compressed air. You should just be careful not to contaminate the clean side while doing so.
