How
Materials.
Ss the only one producer in the world all textile materials come from our own weaving mill. Our materials are exclusively produced for textile based ventilation purposes. We primarily apply yarn-dyeing and Cradle to Cradle yarns and thereby we save the environment from many litres of waste water annually and overall it results in a much smaller carbon footprint compared to conventional materials.
Building certification.
With our Cradle to Cradle product certification, we support a number of international building certifications such as LEED version 4, BREEAM, NL with points for material ingredients. In addition, textile ducts contribute to reduced fuel consumption during transport and handling due to the low weight compared to traditional steel ducts.
Recycling.
KE Fibertec is continuously working to increase the recycling rate in all products. All aluminum included in the mounting rails and all bulb cords are made with a high degree of recycling. On all C2C products we offer a “buy-back programme” when the textile ducts are no longer functional.
Carbon reduction.
At our Danish factories we have for more than 10 years worked intensively to reduce our carbon footprint and have reduced the impact by 52% per turnover DKK since 2010. All electric power consumed is generated by wind turbines and thereby carbon neutral. KE Fibertec works with an ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. On top of that KE Fibertec is certified according to ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental standard).
UN Global Goals (SDGs).
Based on the Cradle to Cradle standard, which supports 11 global goals, it is a natural development for KE Fibertec to work towards a Global Goal certification. For more information follow the further development at www.ke-fibertec.com/globalgoals.
