Why Swift?

Our Green Strategy
 Sustainable business model
 We use coconut carbon, a fast-growing renewable resource
 All of our finished products are 100% recyclable, reducing our carbon
footprint
Conventional carbon filters
release pollution and emit
greenhouse gases into the
air during production
Pollution and greenhouse
gases are reduced by
using new technology that
converts emissions into
thermal energy
We started the first filter
green wave with our clean
recyclable packaging and
our eco-friendly filters
Our goal is to continue to
build on our green strategy
for all future products and
development
