High Degree of Product Circularity
Environmental Traceability
La Certificazione sulla circolarità del prodotto si inserisce in un percorso virtuoso intrapreso dall’azienda per ridurre gli sprechi e rigenerare le risorse.
Product circularity certification is part of a positive initiative undertaken by the company to reduce waste and regenerate resources.
Product circularity is achieved through an efficient production process that optimizes the product’s functionality, reduces its environmental impact, and promotes the reuse of the resources used.
In the 10th year, Ernestomeda obtained Product Circularity Certification, issued by the accredited body Cosmob, which has developed its own operational guidelines titled “Cosmob Qualitas Praemium – Product Circularity Assessment,” serving as a valid verification tool in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 14021 standard.
A product’s circularity is assessed by measuring (material balance) the resources used to manufacture it.
The tests take into account a series of indicators that provide an overview of the types of input materials and the destination of output materials. Based on the circularity assessment conducted and certified by Cosmob (UNI EN ISO 14021) on Ernestomeda products, a circularity index of up to 99% is achieved.
For Ernestomeda, all pieces of furniture were tested in their various structural and finish variations; in particular, furniture with veneered, laminated, lacquered, and glass doors, as well as the various components, were tested.
