Green chunky bits in oil Filter

After 5,000 kilometers I changed the oil and filter in my 2001, 70,150 km. Boxster S today only to find, for the first time, small green chunks of plastic or fiborous material in the filter. I would say there was about a spoonful of this stuff. I'll try to attach a photo. Any thoughts on what is being torn apart in there? I am almost thinking, based on the material that it could be part of the old filter itself coming off and going through the engine.

Unless I hear otherwise in a reply I think I will drive it for a couple hundred kilometers and change the oil again and see if I get more chunks.
