Environment
Change management system
The creation of shared value encompasses many aspects, ranging from caring for the people who make the ECLISSE Group’s story every day, to supporting local communities, to preserving and protecting the environment.
We aim to create positive social change and reduced environmental impact in the sectors and places where we operate.
Plants
The decision to renovate and extend the existing building in Via Giovanni Pascoli for the new ECLISSE headquarters instead of opting for a completely new construction stems from the desire to promote a sustainable policy against waste and land exploitation. The new high-efficiency photovoltaic system of the latest generation is able to cover around 40 per cent of the company's total energy needs. All rooms are equipped with presence sensors with DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) and the intensity of the lights is self-adjusting to changing natural light.
- + 500,000 Kw/h of energy produced in a year
- 0.19 kg of CO2 saved per Kw/h produced
Plants and manufacturing processes
To reduce the environmental impact of the production processes, small measures have been taken in the production lines, such as the use of absorbent mats placed under the profiles containing the lubrication oils, which are periodically washed and reused.
The new enclosed waste area contains two compactors for plastics and paper, while the underground de-oiling plant treats waste water and captures oils that seep into the ground with rain. The new production hub concentrates activities that were previously carried out in several plants, reducing the movement of heavy vehicles between locations and improving production efficiency.
In 2020, the company invested in a brand new paint shop where an anthropomorphic robot was installed that improved the quality of resin application of flush door products, relieving the workers of a demanding manual process. The investment in automation was the last step of a more complex path whose ultimate goal was to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, improve the healthiness of the working environment and relieve staff from manual operations.
The transition to a completely solvent-free one-component water-based resin is underway. By 2024, the goal is to use only zero-emission paints.
Recycled CAM insulation materials, PVC, wood and steel
Our integrated single-unit counterframes are the first on the market to be made exclusively from EPS CAM insulation material.
Recycled material in aluminium alloys
We work with aluminium suppliers that provide certified recycled material: 80 per cent of the raw material used comes from recycled material, which is the maximum allowed by law.
Disassemblable products
Our counterframes are designed to be disassembled in the event that they need to be disposed of, so disposal is easier.
Re-usable production waste
We recover production residues by transforming them from waste into a resource: more than 90% of waste ends up in reuse chains.
1/3 of energy comes from renewable sources
In the new production facility, more than 30% of the energy required to produce a counterframe comes from renewable sources.
Re-use and upcycling in furniture
Old doors can be refurbished and reused in the counterframes, as any type of standard door can be fitted in our systems.
