That depends on how big your apartment is and how often you vacuum. Basically, we recommend changing the vacuum cleaner bag every 2 months at the latest.
When the vacuum cleaner is used regularly, all kinds of dust and dirt accumulate in the bag. If the bag remains in the vacuum cleaner for a long time, the suction power may decrease because the airflow cannot develop optimally in a full vacuum cleaner bag. In addition, bacteria, mold spores and germs are found in the vacuumed dirt, which can multiply over time in the vacuum cleaner bag.
Please dispose of the full vacuum cleaner bag with the residual waste. Since the dust and dirt sucked in is not recyclable, the used vacuum cleaner bag is therefore also not recyclable and therefore belongs in the residual waste.
Swirl® EcoPor® vacuum cleaner bags ensure a filtration of 99.99% of house dust and allergenic fine dust, such as pollen, mold spores, mite droppings and bacteria, thus relieving the indoor air. Therefore, they are ideal for allergy sufferers.
There are no scented vacuum cleaner bags from Swirl®.
If the smell of your vacuum cleaner bothers you, try the Swirl® EcoPor® Anti-Odor Vacuum Cleaner Bags, which reduce unpleasant odors from the vacuum cleaner bag.

The only difference between Swirl® EcoPor® anti-odor vacuum cleaner bags and regular Swirl® EcoPor® vacuum cleaner bags is that the anti-odor bags contain pure activated carbon, which reduces unpleasant odors from the bag. Both ensure filtration of 99.99% of house dust and allergenic particulate matter thanks to EcoPor® filters.
You can handle Swirl® EcoPor® Anti-Odor Vacuum Cleaner Bags in the same way as the regular Swirl® EcoPor® Vacuum Cleaner Bags. You can find tips on how to handle vacuum cleaner bags correctly in our detailed guide.

Sustainability Garbage Bags
Recycling is an indispensable part of sustainable plastics production and thus sets the tone for the change from a linear to a closed circular economy. That is why we see it as our task to continuously increase the recycled content of our products.
We get our raw material from various recycling suppliers from all over Europe – and from our partner company Vishuddh Recycle in Bangalore. We attach great importance to high quality standards and certified processes. You can find out more about Vishuddh Recycle in our article With Vishuddh Recycle from plastic waste to recycled garbage bags.
With the Fair Recycled Plastic initiative, the Melitta Group has founded the recycling company Vishuddh Recycle in Bangalore. In the recycling plant, plastic waste collected by waste pickers on the streets of the Indian metropolis is processed, which no longer ends up in the environment or the oceans. You can find out more about this in our article Fair Recycled Plastic: a sustainable social business.
The LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) extracted from the plastic waste in Bangalore is processed into granules at the Vishuddh Recycle recycling plant, which is exported to Europe and processed into Swirl® garbage bags.
The living conditions of around 2000 waste pickers and their families in Bangalore are improving thanks to the Fair Recycled Plastic Initiative: On the one hand, it creates jobs in Bangalore and expands structures in the waste sector. On the other hand, the waste pickers are paid fair wages – and the initiative supports non-profit organizations that provide, for example, medical care and educational opportunities. You can find out more about this in our article Fair Recycled Plastic: a sustainable social business.
The sorting behaviour of each individual is important for successful recycling and supporting the circular economy. After all, high recycling rates can only be achieved if as much waste as possible is collected and separated correctly. Proper waste separation means, for example, that plastic packaging must not be disposed of in the residual waste. As such, they would be incinerated – and can no longer be fed into the recycling cycle. The same applies vice versa – residual waste must not end up in the collection container for used packaging. This has a negative effect on plastic recycling and in some cases it is no longer possible. In addition, however, individual disposal systems and guidelines apply in each country and region. It is best to follow the local recommendations of your waste management company or district administration. You can learn more about this in our article The Circular Economy: Importance and Opportunities.
Recycled polyethylene (rPE) is less tear-resistant compared to virgin material. That's why we guarantee our high standards in terms of tear resistance and tightness with a higher film thickness. The quality promise of the recycled bags is therefore no different from that of conventional garbage bags.
