- Most transit properties use throw away air filters of approximately one (1) filter per month or 12 per year per bus. for every 100 buses that is 1200 filters per year.
- Re-useable air filter has a 5-year prorated warranty, for each 100 buses in 5 years that 6000 throw away filters vs. 100 reusable air filters.
- Most air filter material is petroleum based, when manufactured, using less natural resources when reusable air filter used.
- Less energy consumed in making fewer filters.
- Less pollution in making the air filters.
- Re-useable air filters are recyclable.
- Reduced landfill problems.
