Respect for the environment guides investments and initiatives at Theuma. Certificates prove the sustainability of our products. Our sustainable goal for the future? To obtain the silver Cradle to Cradle certificate by 2024.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t For over a decade, we at Theuma have understood the importance of handling energy and raw materials respectfully and economically. Since<\/span><\/span> 2009, for instance, the heating installations in our plants have been environmentally friendly, burning residual waste wood, and since 2011 solar panels on the roofs of our plants in Belgium have provided green energy.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> The innovations in our product processes, too, are geared to <\/span><\/span>sustainability and respect for people and the environment<\/span><\/span>. The unique Electrostatic Powder Coating technique (EPC<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>\u00a0that we have employed since 2012 to lacquer our steel frames is more sustainable in production and in use than the traditional lacquering method. <\/span><\/span>And our state-of-the-art Electron Beam Curing lacquering technology (EBC<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>\u00a0for interior doors uses only 20% of the energy needed for the traditional UV lacquering process. No CO<\/span><\/span>2<\/span><\/span> or ozone is released <\/span>during the production process and because the EBC lacquer coating is 100% cured, once it has been applied, no toxic substances (VOCs) are released.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We attach importance to our sustainability certificates. They are a visible sign of our efforts to apply socially responsible and sustainable business methods and they give direction to our future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/span>99% of our wooden doors and frames have an FSC certificate. The Forest Stewardship Council\u00ae is an international organisation that promotes responsible forest management. Wood and raw materials for wood products with an FSC label come from sustainably managed forests and therefore do not harm nature and the environment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p> BREEAM- en LEED-certificats are the most commonly used methods of determining the sustainability performance of buildings. Theuma contributes to the BREEAM certification of projects in the health, materials and waste management categories and to LEED certification in the health and waste management categories.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Not only is the production of our doors eco-friendly, but our entire management system focuses on this. After all, as a company you can do so much more. We fit economical LED lighting in our plants and offices and our new company cars are electric. In 2021, we welcomed Filip Vanderhoydonks as purchasing and sustainability manager. \u201cIf your suppliers do not deploy environmentally friendly working methods\u201d, he says, \u201cthen as a business, you can never become sustainable. It is important for all the parties that you depend on to be on board.\u201d So together with our suppliers, we continue to make Theuma a sustainable company.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>We are also convinced fans of other sustainable initiatives in the construction sector:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nStep by step towards sustainable door sets <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
