Redefining filtration with reusable solutions

The Filtrete™ Refillable Air Filter Kit is built to minimize waste while delivering the top-tier performance you expect from Filtrete™ Air Filters. Unlike traditional disposable air filters, this product features refillable Filtrete™ Air Filters and a reusable frame designed to last up to 20 years (excluding damages, abuses, or alterations).

Our MPR 1550 filter captures 42% more microparticles than what’s required for its MERV 12 rating level, while creating 20% less waste along the way.* (MPR refers to microparticle performance rating, and for us, MPR means more.)

Bonus: This air filter is also CERTIFIED Asthma & Allergy Friendly® by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), capturing a high percentage of common allergens. For instance, the Filtrete™ MPR 1550 Refillable Air Filter was challenged in a test duct containing common allergens. This filter removed over 95% pollen, 92.5% dust mite allergen, 85% cat allergen and 50% of microparticles from a test duct — truly making cleaner air a reality.

With its reusable air filter frame, you are reusing 70% of the product with every filter change, producing less waste than a traditional Filtrete™ Air Filter by weight. The refillable filter inserts are collapsible, taking up 75% less space in storage and disposal compared to traditional Filtrete™ Air Filters of equivalent size and weight. The compact design of the refills also takes up less space when stored.

This solution is also kind to your wallet. Based on MSRP retail price, a Refillable Air Filter costs less over time than comparable traditional Filtrete™ Air Filters, meaning you save money with every refill. With less waste and a smaller physical footprint, the Filtrete™ Refillable Air Filter Kit is a simple way to make your day-to-day life more efficient without sacrificing quality. It’s one small change for your air filter replacement that leads to meaningful results.

Other home improvements for cleaner air and less waste

Using a Refillable Air Filter is a great start, but it’s not the only way to reduce waste and make thoughtful home improvements. Try these strategies to freshen up your space:

1. Switch to natural cleaning products
Many conventional cleaning products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air.^¹ These can negatively impact your indoor air quality and contribute to ongoing waste through single-use plastic containers. Instead, try making your own non-toxic cleaners using ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice, or look for brands with refill options that limit packaging materials.

2. Prioritize energy efficiency
Cutting energy costs helps improve your home’s efficiency. Opt for ENERGY STAR® certified appliances, use programmable thermostats, and seal air leaks around windows and doors. By reducing your energy use, you can lower your carbon footprint, save money and create a more comfortable living space.^{², ³, ⁴}

3. Adopt a “reduce and reuse” mindset
Instead of swapping out household items at the first sign of trouble, try giving repairs a go. And when replacements are a must, explore local BuyNothing groups. These community-driven spaces allow neighbors to share, swap, and give for free. Also, consider products with reusable or refillable options, like rechargeable batteries or reusable water bottles, to cut down on waste. Remember: A little effort goes a long way.

4. Ventilate with purpose
Ventilation is key to maintaining good indoor air quality.^⁵ Make a habit of airing out your space by occasionally opening windows to invite fresh air in, especially while cooking or using indoor products that can release odors or chemicals. To really up your air game, pair proper ventilation with high-performance filtration.

A simple shift, positive outcomes

Transforming your home into a mindful space doesn’t require drastic changes. The Filtrete™ Refillable Air Filter Kit proves that small, intentional upgrades can help reduce waste, save space and maintain optimal indoor air quality.

By pairing smart filtration with simple, actionable steps, you can create a home that works more efficiently. Start with just one or two of these changes and see the positive impact they can have on your living space.
