EcoStatic® Filter Media by Lanaco – Making Natural Possible in Air Filtration

Introducing EcoStatic

Filter Media by Lanaco, their flagship wool-based electrostatic air filter media, which has recently earned certification under the USDA BioPreferred® program. Lanaco's success in sustainability is anchored in its use of New Zealand wool as the primary material in its product range. Unlike conventional filter media, wool is renewable and ethically sourced, with fully biodegradable finished filter options available, depending on applications and local regulations.

EcoStatic Filter Media combines wool’s natural ability to capture and retain particles with Lanaco’s proprietary technology to create a high-efficiency and low pressure drop product. The filter media is sanitary and safe to handle, as it is safely used in respiratory filters. This makes the product safer to replace and dispose of than traditional filter media which can often contain harmful byproducts such as PFAS or formaldehyde. Safety has also been a consideration for NASA’s Artemis Program, as the Orion spacecraft emergency breathing apparatus is equipped with EcoStatic pre-filters in the event of a fire.

EcoStatic is engineered to maximize the unique wool fibre properties that enhance filtration efficiency while minimizing energy consumption. This makes EcoStatic a top choice for industries where air quality is critical,

with options from 50 to 500 gsm. The USDA BioPreferred certification further reinforces its eco-credentials where several of the EcoStatic products have been certified to have biobased content, helping to reduce the world’s reliance on synthetic materials.

As a company, Lanaco commits to sustainability with transparency. The company ensures the entire supply chain is not only eco-friendly but also traceable. By collaborating closely with local farmers through the Astino® Wool Programme, Lanaco maintains oversight on the entire wool sourcing process from the pasture to the final filter media product. This means that Lanaco can guarantee the ethical treatment of animals and the ecofriendly nature of the farming practices. Lanaco also actively reduces waste, energy consumption, and emissions through lean manufacturing practices. www.lanaco.co.nz
