ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION
EPD Environmental Product Declaration for S 111/162 door and window hardware made of polyamide
HEWI S 111 and S 162 polyamide door and window hardware have their own Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which transparently presents their environmentally relevant properties in the form of neutral and objective data. The document emphasises HEWI's commitment to sustainability and ecological transparency and provides detailed information on the environmental impact of the products over their entire life cycle. With the individual EPD certificates for the S 111 and S 162 polyamide hardware, HEWI offers not only general environmental information, but also product-specific environmental data.
The stainless steel versions of the S 111, S 162 and S 270 door and window hardware also have a specific environmental product declaration. HEWI submits this EPD as part of a licence from the Fachverband Schloss- und Beschlagindustrie e. V. (Lock and Hardware Industry Association).
Modern eco-design made from post-industrial recyclate
Re-seat family from HEWI
How can the material that accumulates during HEWI production be given a second life? This question gave rise to the Re seat family from HEWI. It comprises three stools and two bath chairs. Post-industrial recycled material is used in the seat and backrest (96 per cent PIR) as well as in the armrests (95 per cent PIR). In the natural colours forest green and dark granite grey, they offer an exciting and lively look and feel, both in terms of feel and appearance. The material blend of recycled polypropylene and recycled polyamide gives the lightly speckled surfaces a vibrant and individual look with their unique patterns and translucent spots of colour. The use of recycled material not only reduces plastic waste, but each seat and armrest is also unique.
