With 13 million new cars registered in the European Union each year, nonwoven filters enable savings of 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents annually across the region.
This is one of the key points conveyed in the most recent infographic launched by nonwovens industry body EDANA as part of its study into durable nonwoven applications, and to be included in the organisation’s 2015 Sustainability Report which will be launched in Brussels on February 26th.
The saving equals the reduction of 800,000 passenger cars on the road, or driving 12 billion kilometres in a medium-sized passenger car.
