Why a Canadian-Made Furnace Filter Should Be Your Next Home Upgrade
Cycle Air isn’t just a filter brand — it’s a 100% Canadian-owned company, proudly developed, manufactured, and assembled right here in Canada. From design in Canada, to recycled-material production in Manitoba, sewing in London Ontario every step supports local jobs and sustainable practices.
Proudly Canadian-Owned, Canadian-Made
Choosing a Canadian-made filter means:
- Supporting Canadian businesses and communities
- Reducing your carbon footprint by avoiding overseas shipping
- Using sustainable materials sourced responsibly
- Tariff-free and compliant under CUSMA / USMCA / NAFTA when shipping to the USA
And because it’s engineered in Canada, Cycle Air is built for the realities of Canadian homes — from January snowstorms to July heatwaves. You can trust that its performance meets the requirements of Canadian furnaces, heat pumps, and HVAC systems and allows good airflow while capturing dust and allergens.
Are Furnace Filters Recyclable?
Short answer: No.
Disposable furnace filters — the kind with cardboard frames and “paper-looking” pleats — cannot be recycled. The filtering layer is actually fused synthetic polymer (plastic), bonded to cardboard. Municipal recycling programs in Canada and the U.S. won’t separate these layers, so they go straight to landfill.
Long answer: Cycle Air Filters are technically recyclable — though you won’t need to recycle them for years.
Cycle Air filters are built with a permanent, recycled HDPE plastic frame and washable recycled polyester filter media. When they eventually do reach the end of their life (after years of use), the materials can be responsibly recycled. But because you simply wash and reuse the filter, you’ll dramatically cut back on waste.
Why Cycle Air’s Canadian Furnace Filters Are Different
Cycle Air’s filters are made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fabric paired with a durable HDPE frame. Proudly made in Canada furnace filters.
- Reusable: clean it in your laundry machine and dry in your dryer
- Durable: tested for up to 8 years or 50 washes
- Smart: patented change indicator shows exactly when to clean
- High-performance: MERV 7 for excellent dust, pet dander, and pollen capture while maintaining strong airflow.
One Cycle Air filter keeps 50 single-use filters out of landfill — and delivers premium air quality the entire time.
Cost-Effective and Tariff-Free
While the upfront cost of a Cycle Air filter is higher than a single-use filter, the savings quickly add up:
| Filter Type | Approx. Price (CAD) | 3-Year Spend | Plastic Waste |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disposable (imported) | $15–25 per filter | $180–300 | ~12–18 filters |
| Cycle Air Canadian-made | $99–150 each | $100–150 | Zero landfill waste |
Added bonus: Cycle Air products are tariff-free and compliant with CUSMA / USMCA / NAFTA, making them the perfect option for Canadian and U.S. homeowners.
