RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
Some UZIN products are manufactured at our CO2 neutral factory in the Netherlands. The energy efficient facility is one of the most sustainable factories in Europe, receiving a “score” of 8.66 from GPR Gebouw, a Dutch Green Building Rating.
The sedum roof insulates, improves biodiversity and diffuses carbon dioxide whilst releasing oxygen. The heating is generated by a combination of pellet and geothermal heating, rainwater is used for flushing toilets and the air, light and temperature are sensor controlled. Together with numerous other initiatives, the premises embody the latest sustainable technology and helps offset the environmental impact of manufacturing.
Cube It Simple Recyclable Packaging
UZIN is focused on innovating new environmental solutions and have innovated the Cube It Simple recyclable packaging. As well as the UZIN L3 Gold range of products, the packaging is now available for UZIN PE 260 & UZIN PE 360 PLUS primers. The new packaging means:
- 77% less CO2 – The cube packaging allows much more efficient method of transporting as more weight and units can be put on a pallet. Transportation is therefore reduced and less CO2 discharged.
- 85% less waste – Only the liner is made from plastic, which can be returned and disposed off. The box is made from recycled cardboard which can be recycled. This also saves floor contractors the hassle of disposing large amounts of plastic containers.
