RECYCLABILITY
Recyclability, sustainability, eco-compatibility - in
a nutshell, respect for the environment - these are
the themes which the world community takes very
much to heart.
It may seem absurd to talk about environment
in terms of productions having plastic materials
as their common denominator. Nevertheless,
contrary to common belief, Kartell products are
perfectly recyclable. To simplify the recycling
process, in fact, the various components of
Kartell products can be easily separated out and
traced back to their single material elements.
The plastic parts of each product also bear clear
identification markings in accordance with the DIN
6120 specification, part 2, just so that they can be
correctly identified and to facilitate recycling.
PACKAGING
All product packaging (paper, cardboard and
plastic wrap) is 100% recyclable according to local
recycling practices.
Contributing to environmental sustainability means
avoiding waste and improper waste disposal.

product, please visit www.kartell.com

GREENGUARD
In its continuing commitment to protecting its
customers' health, Kartel obtained Greenguard
certification for its products in 2014.
When purchasing a Greenguard-certified product,
consumers can be certain the product has been
inspected, does not pollute and is not dangerous.
Greenguard is used by many certification
processes for environmentally-sustainable
buildings (LEED; CHPS; ASHRAE; Grren Globes;
NAHB; IgCC, CONSIP) around the world.
ISO 14001 CERTIFICATION: 2004
In 2011 Kartell achieved UNI EN ISO 14001:
2004 certification for its support of an effective
Environmental Management System, an international
standard recognised throughout the world and
developed about 10 years ago which defines
development and implementation parameters in
corporate processes in order to achieve an effective
environmental management system.
WHAT IS ISO 14001: 2004?
This certification attests that the organization
certified has implemented a management system
capable of controlling environmental impact in its
own business and systematically endeavours to
improve it in a sustainable, effective and consistent
manner. ISO 14001 certification is not obligatory but
is the result of the voluntary choice of the Company
which decides to define, implement, maintain and
improve its own environmental management system.
