From manufacturing to logistics, we reduce waste and emissions. By cutting cardboard use and transportation-related CO₂, we work toward a lighter environmental footprint.
The compact design of PleatLink® achieves a 20:1 volume ratio for shipping relative to conventional box filters. This significantly reduces fuel consumption and lowers transportation-related CO2 emissions by up to 67%.
And it uses a custom, reusable metal frame to help minimize landfill waste.
The function benefit of PleatLink®, beyond volume reduction, is that it significantly reduces or eliminates air bypass on the filter which in turn keeps the evaporator coil cleaner. This then improves the overall efficiency of the HVAC unit as it ages.
PleatLink® dramatically reduces packaging and waste. One pallet of traditional box filters requires twenty cardboard boxes of cardboard-framed filters. The equivalent volume of PleatLink® filters ship in a single bag. This 20:1 volume ratio cuts material use, space, and disposal at every step.
Our sustainability efforts continue to evolve. We focus on reducing miles driven through route-based service optimization, extending the lifecycle of cardboard through reuse, and investing in infrastructure like planned trash compaction at our production facility—to further reduce overall waste.
