Another monumental moment

We are announcing an addition to our website.  We are putting up a page to document and list all of efforts to become a more sustainable company.   Keep an eye on our efforts.  We plan to detail both our successes, and the failures.  Not everything will work.  Small steps one at a time can add up to more than one big leap.

New Developments in cleaning a paper filter

New technique on the right






Paper filters are a challenge because if you clean to aggressively the filter is damaged.   I sent this picture to a buddy that works for the largest new filter manufacturer in the world.  He thought the filter on the right was new.  It took me a while to convince him that it was in fact cleaned.  The picture above is in fact a picture of two cleaned filters.  The one on the left was our previous results; on the right is the filter after the most recent invention.  The "Super Duper Paper Filter Brightening Finisher"  started life as a $0.50 garage sale item purchased last week end.  Now it may be a really cool way to add the last brightening step to our paper cleaning process.
