SUSTAINABILITY
- Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
We are proud to announce that our composite granite kitchen sinks have received Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification. This independently verified document highlights our commitment to transparency and environmental responsibility. Our sinks’ life cycle assessment (LCA) demonstrates reduced environmental impacts across various stages, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. This certification reassures our
customers and partners that we prioritize sustainability at every step of our production process, contributing to global efforts to reduce environmental impact.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging solutions. Every package is made of recycled 5-layer cardboard sourced from Stora Enso, a leader in sustainable packaging. This material is sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. By choosing recyclable and renewable packaging, we reduce the amount of waste and promote the circular economy. We make sure our packaging is not only robust and durable, ensuring safe delivery of our sinks, but also environmentally friendly, reflecting our commitment to sustainability beyond our products.
- Circular Economy and Waste Management
We emphasize waste reduction through comprehensive recycling programs. When a sink doesn't meet our standards, we shred and transform it into material for roads, paving the way for a greener future. This innovative approach ensures that no product goes to waste, contributing to sustainable infrastructure development. By carefully managing production waste, we save resources and reduce landfill waste, contributing to a cleaner environment.
Our circular economy practices underline our commitment to creating value from waste, turning potential environmental burdens into useful resources for community infrastructure.
- Digital Harmony
We are transitioning our printed instructions to an online space, where you can easily access information on the installation and maintenance of HELIKA sinks. This shift is not just about going digital; it's about reducing our footprint and saving an impressive 250 trees each year! Our online resources are designed to be user-friendly and accessible, providing comprehensive guides and support for our products. This move towards digitization is part of our broader strategy to embrace technology for sustainability, making information easily accessible while significantly reducing paper consumption.
- Recycled Accessories
The accessories we offer, such as strainers and siphons, are made from recycled plastic, giving new life to materials that would otherwise be disposed of. We are so very proud that our chosen methods contribute to reducing plastic pollution and conserving natural resources, as this practice not only reduces waste, but also supports the recycling industry. We make sure our recycled accessories are thoroughly tested to ensure they meet our high standards for quality and durability, providing our customers with reliable and sustainable product options that are also environmentally friendly.
- Commitment to the Planet
In everything we do, we are mindful of the place and impact, choosing a path that is kinder to our planet and aligned with the slow living philosophy we strive to embrace. We are partnering with green suppliers and organizations that help us stay at the forefront of sustainable practices, ensuring that our commitment to the planet is upheld across our entire supply chain. And we continuously conduct research and develop new ways to improve our environmental performance. All these steps ensure our sustainability initiatives reflect our dedication to creating a healthier and safer environment for future generations!
