I really do look forward to the day when products that are produced and sold are specifically made to be completely recycled, or refreshed and used again. It really is a shame that we are forced to waste so much. I prefer the reusable filter if possible, but I am still not happy by the fact that it is made of stuff that will end up in a land fill eventually... Maybe not as soon as the other products, but still soon enough and will not break down. Even my paper filters are still made with plastics and other things that cannot be burned without dumping stuff in the air. That isn't cool. I am into this partially because of the environmental impacts of the choices and actions we take. I would really like to see companies change the focus. How about a "refillable" air filter. You walk into a store, or order the refill online and get just the filter element that you reload/refresh yourself. That is what I am attempting to do with my bypass filter. No more cartridges, but just replace the filter element itself and eliminate so much of the waste. It is a baby step in the right direction but we have a long way to go.
