      That still uses disposable filters. So maybe it reduces the amount of waste by 10%?

      Do we have one that has reusable filters? I mean a filter you can use for at least 10 years.

        I mean, use for 10 years by what metric? A woodworker is gonna block up that filter in a few months, someone who works in a hospice might get a few years, and triage nurses might burn through them in half that simply due to moving fast. Also I think 10 years might be a bit of a stretch in general, I’ve never known a mask filter to last that long in any model I’ve used

          I’m referring to the pandemic. Use for 10 years by a nurse breathing average hospital air 40 hours per week.

          I want something washable, not disposable.
