Subaru of Albany Partners with TerraCycle: Transforming Used Air Filters into Sustainable Furniture

At Subaru of Albany, we are dedicated to environmental responsibility and promoting sustainable practices. One of the exciting initiatives we are proud to be a part of is our partnership with TerraCycle’s Air Filter Recycling Program. This program allows us to recycle every used air filter from our Subaru vehicles and transform them into innovative and sustainable furniture. Through this collaboration, we aim to minimize waste, reduce our carbon footprint, and contribute to a greener future.

TerraCycle and the Air Filter Recycling Program

TerraCycle is a global leader in recycling and upcycling solutions, committed to finding innovative ways to divert waste from landfills and promote a circular economy. The Air Filter Recycling Program is one of their initiatives designed to provide a sustainable solution for the disposal of used air filters. Instead of being discarded, these filters are collected, processed, and transformed into unique and eco-friendly furniture pieces.

How Subaru of Albany Participates

At Subaru of Albany, we are passionate about sustainability and take pride in our partnership with TerraCycle. As part of this collaboration, we have implemented a comprehensive air filter recycling program. Whenever a customer’s Subaru vehicle undergoes an air filter replacement, we collect the used filter and ensure its proper recycling through TerraCycle.

The Transformation Process

Once collected, the used air filters are sent to TerraCycle’s specialized recycling facility. There, the filters undergo a thorough cleaning and processing procedure to remove any contaminants and prepare them for repurposing. The recycled materials are then transformed into durable and stylish furniture pieces, ranging from chairs and tables to decorative items. Check out the full transformation process here.

The Impact of the Program

By participating in TerraCycle’s Air Filter Recycling Program, Subaru of Albany is making a significant positive impact on the environment. Instead of contributing to landfills, the used air filters are diverted from the waste stream and given a new life as sustainable furniture. This initiative not only reduces waste but also supports the development of eco-friendly products and promotes a circular economy.
