Rather than throw away an old HEPA and Activated Carbon Filter in regular bin/landfill, is it possible to return to Dyson for refurbishing or recycling?

Is it possible to recycle or return old HEPA and Activated Carbon Filters back to Dyson

Hi
Welcome to the Dyson Community, and thanks for your question!
Dyson Purifier filters aren’t currently recyclable - due to the pollutants and contaminates they can contain, they should be disposed of as part of your normal household waste.
As a consumable part, our engineers strive to ensure they have the longest working life possible. Glass HEPA media is used, which typically has a longer life span than other filter media, to make sure it needs to be replaced as infrequently as possible. In many regions, based on 12-hour usage per day, a purifier would require a new filter as little as every 12 months.
Recycled material is used in the Dyson Purifier Cool™ Formaldehyde machine itself, made from 21.5% recycled plastic by weight. And our latest purifier filters contain 85% recycled plastic in the filter frame, resulting in a reduction of virgin plastic.
Hope this helps!
