Driving HVAC Filtration Innovation for the EU’s Zero Pollution Vision
The EU Ambient Air Quality Directive (AAQD) 2024 sets ambitious new limits on pollutants like PM2.5, NO₂ and SO₂ as part of Europe’s bold commitment to achieve zero pollution by 2050. For HVAC systems across the EU, this means filtration media must evolve to meet stricter performance, energy efficiency and sustainability requirements.
Standards such as ISO 16890 and ASHRAE 52.2 Appendix J highlight different aspects of filter performance, from particulate removal across size ranges to maintaining efficiency after discharge. Understanding these testing protocols allows for a deeper evaluation of filtration solutions under various real-world conditions.
At Lanaco, we contribute to this evolving landscape with EcoStatic®, our biobased electrostatic media. We are actively receiving and partnering with global leaders to co-develop hybrid filter media that combine the best of electrostatics and mechanical filtration mechanisms to deliver:
– Low resistance for energy-efficient airflow
– High dust-holding capacity and long service life
– Stability in filtration performance over time
– Greater sustainability throughout the product lifecycle
Our collaborative approach supports HVAC consultants, designers and manufacturers, especially those focused on the EU market, in developing filtration solutions that balance performance, energy efficiency and compliance with evolving air quality standards.
If you are innovating in HVAC filtration media, system design or indoor air filtration devices, we welcome the opportunity to explore how EcoStatic® technology can enhance your solutions.
Let’s make natural possible in air filtration.
