NitiFilter® carbon footprint: emits less than a standard filter after the second oil change

Against the backdrop of climate issues, which have become more and more important, and at the same time as the COP21 world climate conference, we have decided to study and promote our nitiFilter® automotive filtration solution’s comparable advantage when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It’s important to remember that in France, the transportation sector is responsible for a third of total final energy consumption (second only to the construction sector) as well as for almost 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, 95% of which come from road transportation alone. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in this sector is therefore an absolute priority. How is the nitiFilter® a solution? What is it’s carbon impact compared to a standard filter? More reliable than a traditional oil filter, it is also greener, and its carbon footprint shows that it dramatically reduces carbon emissions.  Read more

Why is the nitiFilter® more reliable than a standard filter?

Have you ever asked yourself if your oil filter is reliable? I would guess you haven’t… But oil quality depends on the quality of the filter!
