About the Council
Established
in 1971, the Filter Manufacturers Council represents manufacturers of
vehicular and industrial filtration products. Initially developed to monitor
regulatory and technological developments that affect the industry, the
Council has since expanded its activities substantially. For example,
representatives of member companies provide technical expertise in order
to develop bulletins explaining particular filtration products and their
uses. The Council also obtains and disseminates to its members information
regarding industry statistics, technical concerns and cataloging activities.
The Council conducts regular meetings to discuss issues of interest. Standing
committees include the Catalog, Technical, Quality, Environmental, Heavy
Duty Catalog and Marketing Committees.
The Council has undertaken several environmental initiatives including producing the most comprehensive study of used oil filters to date. This study served as the impetus to the easing of regulatory requirements issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Council continues to undertake activities to encourage the proper management of used oil filters including operation of a toll-free hotline and online database at www.filtercouncil.org. Information available through the website includes a summary of each state's used oil filter regulations and a list of companies providing filter management services in each state. Business and government generators of used oil filters can also access additional resources on the website. Current members of the FMC include:
