In partnership with Lanaco, a New Zealand-based wool technology company, Blueair engineered a bio-based, USDA-certified wool filter that uses biodegradable alternatives while maintaining its high performance standards.

"At Blueair, technology decisions are driven by measurable user value. Every material and component must show improvements in filtration performance, airflow, durability, and overall system efficiency to clean air more efficiently,” said Lars Dunberger, Blueair’s Head of Technology. “Our collaboration with Lanaco reflects that engineering approach, bringing together expertise to explore next-generation filtration technologies that can deliver cleaner air without compromising performance."

Designed in Sweden. Born in New Zealand.

Made with real wool and 100% USDA Certified Biobased material, and free from harmful chemicals and microplastics, the new EcoLast Wool Filter features a 50% longer lifetime than regular filters*. Designed for the Blue Pure 211i Max air purifier, the new filters offer an 18-month lifetime and effectively capture allergens such as dust, pollen, and pet dander, removing 99.97%¹ of airborne particles.

NASA-tested materials. Built for the Home.

Wool material from Lanaco has proven effective in the toughest environments, even during NASA’s Artemis missions to the moon and back, as part of the vehicle’s emergency air protection systems.

“For 30 years, Blueair has stayed true to its mission of helping people breathe cleaner, better air. Our partnership with Lanaco, which brings the industry's first filter to market, shows what that mission can achieve,” said Andy Lu, Blueair CEO. “We have spent the past two years working hand in hand with Lanaco to bring this groundbreaking achievement to the masses. Thirty years in, and we continue to pioneer what air wellness can mean for people's everyday lives.”
