Apir for the environment

When speaking of industrial paints in powder, the aspect of safeguarding the environment is not of secondary importance. This type of industrial paint, in fact, is in line with a policy of eco-sustainability given the absence of solvent emissions and a total recovery of the dust generated in the processes.

Daily consumption of water inside the company used to imply a large number of plastic bottles which, despite separate waste collection, used to account for a high quantity of waste. Therefore we have decided to introduce water bottles, filled by means of a dedicated osmosis machine that turns tap water into high-quality drinkable water.

In the past, Apir’s catalogue was a useful effective tool for presenting the company. As of this year, we have undertaken a major challenge by turning it into a digital catalogue. This format has enabled us to make it more functional and keep it constantly updated. One of the most important positives in doing so, is a remarkable reduction in the quantity of printed paper, a great benefit for our planet.

In the last few years Apir has been trying to minimise the quantity of printed paper by preferring digital documents and adopting technological solutions. Not all information can be digitalised and therefore in these cases we have opted for recycled paper for our internal stationery.

Apir’s products are mainly manufactured using top-quality materials such as iron, brass and steel. All these metals are highly recyclable. Production is extremely careful to exploit metal slabs at best, using even the smallest areas. Scraps from the making of plaques, accessories and all Apir’s products, are gathered in dedicated areas to then be sent to specific recycling centres.
