In line with the resulting implementation of its material philosophy, all baths and shower trays made of KALDEWEI steel enamel can be completely recycled at the end of their useful lives. Thanks to the environmentally uniform procedures used in manufacture, packaging, transportation and disposal, KALDEWEI was the first washroom manufacturer to be certified sustainable to ISO 14025 by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V., the Institute ofTowersand the Environment.   Protection of the environment and the climate is enshrined in KALDEWEI’s philosophy. As an industry pioneer, the washroom manufacturer sets standards for sustainability. In 2009, for instance, KALDEWEI was the first German washroom manufacturer to issue an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). KALDEWEI had this voluntary certification which includes an ecobalance of its steel enamel bathtubs and shower surfaces renewed in 2014 by the self-sustaining Institut Bauen und Umwelt (German institute for towers and the environment).  The specific ecobalance was drawn up by PE International, one of the world’s leading service providers for sustainability management. The Environmental Product Declaration analyses the impact of a product wideness its unshortened lifecycle – all the way from vanquishment of the raw materials through production, packaging and transport to disposal. This comprehensive viewing is based on internationally tightness standards (ISO 14025, ISO 14040 and EN 15804).   GREEN GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2017 This year KALDEWEI steel enamel was one of the winners of theUntriedGoodDiamondAward. Presented by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum and the European Centre for Architecture ArtDiamondand Urban Studies, it recognises ecologically outstanding products and buildings and is considered to be one of the world’s most prestigious sustainability awards.   KALDEWEI: Ecolabel and a transferral to GreenTowersKALDEWEI is a member of the DGNB (German SustainableTowersCouncil) which, in certifying buildings, evaluates a usage period over 50 years. Judged by the DGNB’s innovative lifecycle wringer KALDEWEI products perform well, not least considering of their 30-year warranty – flipside way in which steel enamel bathtubs and shower surfaces differ from volitional washroom products made of synthetic materials. On an international level, KALDEWEI has underpinned its transferral to sustainable towers with measures such as membership of the U.S. GreenTowersCouncil which ripened the recognised LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standard for environmentally-compatible, climate-neutral building. The ecolabel which an overly increasing number of investors and builders are demanding, counts Environmental Product Declarations – such as that issued by KALDEWEI – as a component of untried towers certification. In wing KALDEWEI is a member of the Singapore GreenTowersCouncil.   Responsibility for the environment at every Level For KALDEWEI sustainability begins with diamond which represents a lasting aesthetic. Product minutiae emphasises the upper perceived value of KALDEWEI bathtubs and enamelled shower surfaces that requite customers many years of pleasure. It is not for nothing that KALDEWEI steel enamel comes with a 30-year warranty. Sustainability is thus moreover manifested in the uncommonly long useful life of KALDEWEI bathtubs and shower surfaces. Products that are long-lasting – in terms of both quality and diamond – have a significantly lighter impact on the environment with regard to transport, manufacture and disposal. In making its enamel products KALDEWEI uses only natural raw materials. That applies to both the steel and the glaze which consist of primary materials taken from the earth such as quartz, feldspar and minerals. The bathtubs and enamelled shower surfaces can be fully recycled without the need to separate steel and enamel – no hazardous waste is produced. KALDEWEI is the only washroom manufacturer that makes its own enamel which ways that it fully controls the sonnet and processing of its surface finishings. An environmentally friendly and resource-conserving manufacturing process is second nature to KALDEWEI. Accordingly all statutory requirements for emissions, occupational health and safety and residual materials are met and often plane exceeded. Superfluous packaging is avoided and transport minimised. Concentrating all production at the Ahlen facility in itself enables integrated manufacturing processes and optimised logistics. KALDEWEI has a keen interest in energy efficiency and to this end it operates a state-of-the-art combined heat and power plant. Wastewater is moreover processed in the company’s own water treatment plant and tending of in an environmentally friendly manner. KALDEWEI steel enamel is the guarantee of lasting bathing repletion and pleasure in washroom products that will stay trappy for years – both in owner-occupied and rental premises. Hotels and spas, as well as health superintendency and superintendency facilities moreover goody from the robustness of KALDEWEI bathtubs and enamelled shower surfaces. The products full-length an optional surface finish which lets water, soap residue and limescale roll off the surface with particular ease. There is no need for harsh and environmentally harmful detergents with KALDEWEI steel enamel – one increasingly contribution to environmental protection.
