We tried to make the filters as environmentally friendly as possible. For example, we replaced metal frames with biodegradable cardboard. We also make sure to only use certified environmentally friendly glue in our filters, and to reduce the amount of glue without compromising on cleaning efficiency. E.g. for the Blast and Blast Mini filters, when we switched from metal to cardboard frames, we also reduced the total glue used, being even more environmentally friendly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:pb\/accordion-item --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:generateblocks\/container --\u003e","brand":"Smart Air UK \u0026 EU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54188807586119,"sku":"SAF-COM-BLMI-FHEPA","price":242.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/6102\/3559\/files\/a0eae75a-2a-Blast-Mini-HEPA-Filter.jpg?v=1781816274","url":"https:\/\/smartairfilters.co.uk\/products\/blast-mini-hepa-h13-filter","provider":"Smart Air UK \u0026 EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
