Through envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly friend\u00adly pro\u00adduc\u00adtion as part of a con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adous improve\u00adment process, i\u2011luminate aims to reduce resources and ener\u00adgy con\u00adsump\u00adtion, as well as noise pol\u00adlu\u00adtion and waste gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion. Our sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty and qual\u00adi\u00adty are con\u00adfirmed by numer\u00adous seals of approval. The high-qual\u00adi\u00adty stan\u00addard of the prod\u00aducts also includes com\u00adpli\u00adance with the per\u00admis\u00adsi\u00adble formalde\u00adhyde lim\u00adits for all mate\u00adri\u00adals and com\u00adpo\u00adnents. Through the appro\u00adpri\u00adate selec\u00adtion of raw chip\u00adboard, the max\u00adi\u00admum val\u00adues of emis\u00adsion class E05 are com\u00adplied with or are far below.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY<\/h2><\/div>

We only use wood from sus\u00adtain\u00adably man\u00adaged forests in the pro\u00adduc\u00adtion of our kitchens. We guar\u00adan\u00adtee this with the PEFCTM seal of qual\u00adi\u00adty. PEFC stands for a world\u00adwide for\u00adest cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion and is based on the very strict guide\u00adlines for the sus\u00adtain\u00adable man\u00adage\u00adment of forests. In our opin\u00adion, this quote from PEFC hits the nail on the head: \u201cYour deci\u00adsion to buy a prod\u00aduct with the PEFC seal is thus a hap\u00adpi\u00adness for the forest\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

VAL\u00adUE MATERIALS<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

The mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal we use should not only be of impec\u00adca\u00adble qual\u00adi\u00adty, but also pro\u00adtect the envi\u00adron\u00adment in the long term. For us, it is obvi\u00adous that mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal and envi\u00adron\u00adment are in har\u00admo\u00adny. That is why we han\u00addle our resources sus\u00adtain\u00adably and main\u00adly use envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly friend\u00adly raw materials.<\/p>\n

All our front and car\u00adcass parts are PEFC cer\u00adti\u00adfied, and we also man\u00adu\u00adfac\u00adture our fronts and car\u00adcass parts exclu\u00adsive\u00adly with PUR glu\u00ading. Almost all our work\u00adtop decors and approx. 95 % of our front and car\u00adcass parts com\u00adply with CARB2 spec\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions. Our pack\u00adag\u00ading mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal is free of chlo\u00adrine and also fits pre\u00adcise\u00adly in order to avoid excess mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal. We main\u00adly use card\u00adboard instead of poly\u00adstyrene for our pack\u00adag\u00ading mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal. We also already have a wide range of 100% recy\u00adcled fronts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

WASTE PREVENTION<\/h2><\/div>

As a cer\u00adti\u00adfied EMAS organ\u00adi\u00adsa\u00adtion, we are con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adous\u00adly improv\u00ading our envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal per\u00adfor\u00admance. The envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal man\u00adage\u00adment sys\u00adtem DIN EN ISO 14001 serves as proof of rel\u00ade\u00advant reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions and as a bench\u00admark for envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly con\u00adscious per\u00adfor\u00admance. Waste is min\u00adimised to a large extent by opti\u00admis\u00ading off\u00adcuts. Any resid\u00adual slabs are reprocessed as heat\u00ading mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal for our own build\u00adings. It goes with\u00adout say\u00ading that we sep\u00ada\u00adrate and recy\u00adcle waste across all depart\u00adments. Our waste dis\u00adpos\u00adal man\u00adage\u00adment with RKT ensures that we can col\u00adlect and recy\u00adcle our trans\u00adport pack\u00adag\u00ading and thus also return it to the mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

USING ENER\u00adGY EFFICIENTLY<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

In order to estab\u00adlish a long-term ener\u00adgy man\u00adage\u00adment sys\u00adtem, we are grad\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly devel\u00adop\u00ading a con\u00adcept for elec\u00adtric\u00adi\u00adty as an ener\u00adgy source. The opti\u00admi\u00adsa\u00adtion of our oper\u00ada\u00adtional com\u00adpressed air sys\u00adtem, the instal\u00adla\u00adtion of a pho\u00adto\u00advolta\u00adic sys\u00adtem or the con\u00adver\u00adsion to elec\u00adtric fork\u00adlifts are just a few examples.<\/p>\n

We have been work\u00ading very active\u00adly on improv\u00ading our ener\u00adgy bal\u00adance for many years. What we have proven so far with the EMAS cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion is addi\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adly com\u00adple\u00adment\u00aded with the cer\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion accord\u00ading to DIN ISO 50001. Our com\u00adpressed air sup\u00adply in the com\u00adpa\u00adny has been com\u00adplete\u00adly reviewed and, among oth\u00ader things, fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly improved with new com\u00adpres\u00adsor tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy. Recent\u00adly, we have start\u00aded to deal with the issue of effi\u00adcient heat\u00ading for our pro\u00adduc\u00adtion build\u00ading. Here, too, ener\u00adgy can be saved and thus pro\u00adtect all our resources.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

REGION\u00adAL PROCUREMENT<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

When procur\u00ading our mate\u00adri\u00adals, we make sure that they do not have to trav\u00adel long dis\u00adtances to us if pos\u00adsi\u00adble, and we source them from region\u00adal sup\u00adpli\u00aders. Our sup\u00adpli\u00aders use reusable pack\u00adag\u00ading, which means that they can be used for fur\u00adther trans\u00adport once they have been returned. In this way, we also sup\u00adport our envi\u00adron\u00adment and make it a more attrac\u00adtive location.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Peo\u00adple are also part of sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty. We offer our own employ\u00adees job bike leas\u00ading, so that they can either do with\u00adout a car for their com\u00admute to work or enjoy nature in their free time. Sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty also means shap\u00ading the future of tomor\u00adrow. Every year, we take on many appren\u00adtices and offer them a 1\u2011year employ\u00adment con\u00adtract after their appren\u00adtice\u00adship to make it eas\u00adi\u00ader for them to start their careers. We not only think about the young gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion, but also about the future and fur\u00adther devel\u00adop\u00adment of all employ\u00adees and the company.<\/p>\n

Sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty affects us all, in many dif\u00adfer\u00adent areas, which makes its impor\u00adtance undeniable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
