Food and Beverage Air Filtration Guide by Camfil Canada Exposes Risks of Poor Indoor Air Quality
06/01/2025, Toronto, ON // PRODIGY: Feature Story // Camfil Canada, a leading provider of premium clean air solutions, has unveiled vital insights into the danger of inadequate air quality in food and beverage production facilities. In a newly released article-- The Hidden Threat of Poor Air Quality in Food and Beverage Production Facilities --Camfil Canada emphasizes the critical role of effective air filtration in safeguarding product quality, employee health, and environmental sustainability. Airborne contaminants such as fine particulate matter, bacteria, allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and mold spores pose significant risks to food safety and staff productivity. These risks are exacerbated by environmental challenges, including wildfire smoke and increasingly humid conditions in Canada. Left unchecked, these contaminants can lead to product spoilage, foodborne illnesses, and even supply chain disruptions. 'Effective air filtration plays a major role in extending product quality and shelf life, inhibiting fat oxidation, and reducing food waste,' said Berni Baier, Camfil Canada. 'By removing airborne contaminants like fine particulate matter and allergens, we not only improve workplace conditions but also mitigate the environmental impact on surrounding communities.' Camfil's research highlights how proper air filtration systems, such as MERV 14-A and HEPA filters, can address these challenges by maintaining high purity standards required in critical processing areas. Advanced filtration systems reduce product recalls, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, and provide a cleaner, safer workplace for facility staff. The article also shines a light on the industry's growing regulatory gaps regarding air quality. While the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) establishes robust guidelines for food safety, explicit standards for air filtration in food processing facilities remain limited. This gap leaves room for inefficient air filtration practices that could compromise product safety and worker well-being. Recognizing this need, Camfil Canada advocates for proactive investments in robust air filtration technologies. By employing a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis to select appropriate air filters, businesses can identify energy-efficient filtration systems that reduce long-term costs and deliver significant operational benefits. For food and beverage manufacturers and health professionals seeking to enhance production standards, Camfil Canada offers tailored air filtration solutions designed to address the unique challenges of the sector.

Camfil Releases 2024 Sustainability Report Emphasizing Transparency, Circularity, and Climate Action
Riverdale, NJ, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a year defined by heightened global expectations around corporate climate accountability, Camfil, a global leader in clean air technology, has published its 2024 Sustainability Report. The document offers a comprehensive, evidence-based account of the company's ESG progress, centered around measurable goals, rigorous data collection, and alignment with the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). A Clear Shift from Rhetoric to Responsibility Camfil's latest sustainability report distinguishes itself with clear metrics and transparent reporting. The company disclosed total Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions of 33,262 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2024, up from 30,866 in 2023. The increase is attributed to business expansion, with mitigation efforts underway, including LED retrofit programs at its Conover facility in North Carolina and solar energy installations in Haslingden, UK and Ipoh, Malaysia. Camfil also advanced its commitment to circular design. Its AirCair Service—an end-to-end air filtration lifecycle solution—uses 100 percent renewable coconut-shell activated carbon and refillable CamCarb XG filters, significantly reducing landfill waste and industrial emissions. Global Standards, Local Actions With operations in more than 35 countries and a workforce of 5,700, Camfil's sustainability efforts go well beyond policy. The company's internal CamfilCairing 2024 campaign featured safety and health-focused activities across regional offices. Events ranged from emergency drills in Taiwan to employee wellness checks in the United Kingdom, all built around the theme 'Safety First.' Further, Camfil continues to influence industry-wide air quality benchmarks through its leadership in shaping ISO 16890, ISO 10121, and the upcoming Eurovent 4/26 standards. These contributions position the company not only as a manufacturer but as a global voice for clean air policy. Data-Backed Innovation Driving Results Camfil's proprietary Life Cycle Cost (LCC) software remains a cornerstone of its customer engagement strategy. The tool, backed by decades of real-world data, allows commercial clients to optimize their HVAC filter choices for energy efficiency and cost savings. According to the report, HVAC systems can represent up to 50 percent of a commercial building's energy consumption. Case studies in Thailand and Mexico demonstrated real-world impact, with CO₂ reductions exceeding 8,800 tons annually and energy savings that translated into hundreds of thousands of euros in cost reductions. Policy Meets Practice The report also addresses risks and areas for improvement. Camfil's first Double Materiality Assessment identified product recyclability, energy use, and labor conditions in global supply chains as priority areas. The company has responded by enhancing its supplier contracts, expanding whistleblower protections, and developing new governance frameworks to monitor these risks. On the social front, Camfil has implemented a group-wide Code of Conduct training, expanded anti-corruption programs, and set gender equity targets, including increasing women in leadership roles to 35 percent by 2030. 2024 Sustainability Highlights at a Glance Environmental Sustainability Camfil's guiding vision is rooted in the belief that 'Clean Air is a Human Right.' 55% of Eurovent-rated comfort filters achieved A+ or A energy ratings. The Life Cycle Cost (LCC) software continues to help clients reduce energy usage and cost. CO₂ Reductions: GPSC Thailand saved 8,800 tons CO₂/year—equivalent to 4,400 cars removed from roads. Pesquería, Mexico reduced CO₂ by 1,100 tons/year while adding €555,000 in annual profit. Refillable, recyclable products like CamCarb XG promote circular design. Solar and LED energy projects in the U.S., UK, and Malaysia are cutting emissions and costs. Social Responsibility Camfil employs 5,700 people across 35+ countries.
