Years back, that is one of the key features of the K&N Air Filter that caught my attention; the wash and reuse filter is just one tiny part that does not go into a landfill, at least in my lifetime. I have never bought another air filter on the myriad of cars and bikes I have put them on.

One has to balance that with the cleaning fluid used to clean the K&N filter and the contaminated water that runs of in the rinse. That contaminated water also contains the K&N oil spray.
I'm not qualified to measure the impact of who is doing the most polluting but the K&N system does not get away scot free unless both the oil they use and the cleaning fluid is biodegradable.
What's is better, an oil and cleaner mix getting into the water table or a dry disposable filter sitting in landfill - I don't know?
