MANN-FILTER launches more sustainable filters with CO₂ reduction

International. The company introduces new filters impregnated with plant materials, made from renewable energy and packaged in recycled materials.

MANN-FILTER introduced a new generation of filters designed to reduce your carbon footprint. These products use lignin, a naturally occurring compound found in wood, rather than fossil-based phenolic resin. This change allows the use of crude oil in manufacturing to be reduced by 27% and CO₂ emissions to be reduced by up to 5%.

According to the company, the MANN-FILTER C 17 237 air filter saves 3.93 tons of CO₂ and more than 4,500 liters of crude oil annually, based on 2024 sales figures.

The innovation reaches the independent aftermarket with air filters compatible with 70 million vehicles in Europe and oil filters for 17.6 million cars. In addition, vegetable-impregnated products will be easily distinguished by their natural brown hue and the pictogram of a green leaf on the packaging.

Commitment to sustainability

MANN+HUMMEL, parent company of MANN-FILTER, has been recognized for its environmental commitment with the EcoVadis gold medal for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, the company will use 100% renewable energy from 2025 and aims for completely CO₂-free production by 2035.

Packaging also plays a key role in the brand's sustainable strategy: it is now made from at least 90% recycled cardboard and uses inks based on vegetable oils. In addition, more than 95% of the waste generated in the production of filters is recycled.

Cleaner combustion engines
Although the future points towards electric vehicles, millions of cars with petrol and diesel engines will still be on the road after 2035. MANN-FILTER is committed to solutions that make the existing vehicle fleet more sustainable.

"This means that customers do not have to choose between different versions, no additional storage space is required and no new part numbers are required," explains Dr. Lars Spelter, Lead Engineer Filter Materials at MANN+HUMMEL. "Everything needs to be kept as simple as possible for our customers. Externally, filters partially impregnated with plant materials differ from conventional ones by a slightly brown hue, due to the characteristic color of lignin, and have a pleasant natural aroma."

"For the iconic yellow-green box, we consistently rely on sustainable materials and employ mineral oil-free vegetable oil-based paints as well as water-based adhesives and coatings. We also attach great importance to conserving resources in production: more than 95% of the waste generated during the manufacture of our filters is recycled. This means that almost all production waste is reused, either materially or thermally," confirms Marian Anton, Business Development Manager at MANN+HUMMEL.
