Part of our Pledge
Reusable Air Filters
While MacDonald-Miller is making progress testing and adopting new technologies, we’re also exploring simple changes to existing practices. One example is attempting to reduce reliance on the single-use HVAC air filters MacMiller routinely replaces on behalf of customers.
If you go to any of our zone service offices, air filters take up the most space. And currently, the only recyclable part is the cardboard box.
Reusable filters provide the same performance as traditional, industry-standard filters while being environmentally friendly.
This change cuts down both physical and transportation waste while making logistical processes more efficient. Instead of continually transporting new filters and disposing of old ones, reusable filters can be washed on-site and reinstalled.
Now, MacDonald-Miller is testing washable, reusable air filters via pilot programs in their facilities to track performance and return on investment (ROI) before recommending them to clients.
Reusable filters offer clear financial and operational benefits by reducing the need for extensive storage and frequent product turnover. This efficiency translates into cost savings and aligns with sustainable business practices. MacDonald-Miller’s leadership in this area provides a compelling model for companies aiming to balance operational needs with environmental responsibility.
