SUSTAINABILITY
The key developments for the new Step collection can be summarised as follows:
- Internal recycling of all production waste from safety products
- Increased recycled content; 24% of the total mass on average
- Reduction of Global Warming Potential, mainly achieved by improvement in product stage (A1-A3) from alternative raw material use and increased recycled content.
