WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

Sustainability In Every Way

Dansani takes responsibility and takes good care of our surroundings. We are energy- and consumptionconscious and have always been so - it is part of our DNA. We have dedicated resources when it comes to sustainability initiatives, and we work very closely with our suppliers and are in control of all components that make up our furniture.

Our basis is the 17 UN sustainable development goals. That means that we generally:

• Develop our products so that their environmental impact in terms of manufacture, usage and, not least, disposal is minimised.

• Use raw material, water and energy efficiently to reduce the environmental impact.

• Maintain high safety standards for our employees and promote responsible approaches to the environment.

More Specifically

So what specifically do we do to enable you to make the most sustainable choices? We generally exclusively focus on solutions that also meet our high quality standards - because long durability is an extremely important element in a sustainable product. We therefore have 10-year warranties on all furniture. Obviously, it is also possible to repair or swap out individual components which may further extend the life of the furniture. It may be an electronic driver for lights in the drawer, or a drawer runner may have been damaged. But obviously, there are also other elements in play. Let’s take a look at the various materials so that you can make an informed decision.

MATERIALS FOR CABINETS, DOORS AND FRONTS

Mido+ bathroom furniture consists of melamine-covered chipboard. If you choose the white matt decor, the front of the furniture is a foil-covered MDF board.

The melamine-covered chipboard is truly sustainable as the board consists of 2/3 recycled wood. The chipboard that is not recycled for the production of new chipboard is incinerated and generates energy for production, so nothing goes to waste.

As already mentioned, the white matt front is a PVC-free, foil-covered MDF board where 40% of the foil is recycled material, so the environment is obviously an important factor.

All new wood that is part of the board production is from sustainable forestry, and a total of 93% of all wood material in our furniture is now certified with full traceability. Obviously, our goal is 100%.

Basins

Mido+ basins are all made of sanitary porcelain which is durable and has a long life. It can be used e.g. in granulated form for road fill or in other processes eliminating the risk of discharging hazardous substances. It can also be recycled to make new basins if a return programme exists.

Lighting And Mirrors

All light sources are energy-efficient LED lighting with a life of 20 years with 4 hours of daily use. And when the light has served its purpose, it is easy to dismantle and dispose of in an environmentally friendly and correct way. All mirrors are of high quality and therefore have a long life.

Approved For Nordic Swan Ecolabel Buildings

The sustainability credentials of the Mido+ range means that it has been approved for Nordic Swan Ecolabel buildings.
