Filtrol

Specs partially disclosed Made in United States filtrol.net ↗

Filtrol is a capture device - a plastic housing with a reusable polyimide mesh bag - so, like the rest of the category, it's plastic in service of catching more plastic. Its distinguishing feature is the reusable screen: you rinse and reuse the mesh for a year or two rather than buying cartridge refills, which keeps ongoing waste and cost down. Independent testing puts external filters like this among the most effective capture options.

How clear are their specs?

States the reusable mesh and install details; its capture figure is company-reported, though the external-filter class tests well independently.
