Sustainability
Our products support sustainability efforts by applying related concepts at all stages, starting at design, through to manufacturing philosophy and processes, and end-user applications.
As a market leader, our supplier CCM GmbH is committed to sustainability, quality and ethical business practices. At an organisation level, the company is signatory to PBS-EHRENKODEX which promotes performance competition and commits members to ethical and fair business conduct.
The manufactured products use widely available or renewable raw materials in the production process. These inputs are of high and consistent quality and sourced from reliable suppliers. The product formulation also considers long-term impacts. Harmful C-8 compounds are avoided in favour of the safer C-6 technology, and with only the minimum amount added to the required formulation for the specific product. The company continues its research towards supporting environmental commitments and fulfilling future regulatory requirements. This includes expanding its PFAS-free product options and developing even more environmentally friendly alternatives.
CCM’s production processes emphasize waste reduction and resource conservation by using the most efficient raw materials. Combined with the high quality standards, these systems reduce the generation of defective goods which must then be discarded. There is also strict compliance with:
and ensuring the availability of accurate and updated safety documentation.
Lastly, the products offer multiple benefits to the end-user, several of which have sustainability implications. The durability of our protective coatings, their resistance to fouling and easy-clean attributes allow for a reduced dependence on harsh chemicals, and lower water use in routine and periodic maintenance. Energy usage is also minimized due to less fossil-fuel/grey electricity powered equipment being needed in maintenance processes. Collectively, these factors contribute positively to carbon footprint reduction.
Our active coatings provide a residual anti-microbial effect, creating a healthier environment for persons operating in that space. And all product packaging is designed to be 100% recyclable, underscoring the commitment to eco-conscious solutions.
As a result of this deliberate and strategic focus on quality and sustainability, our brands have earned multiple awards, underlying the commitment to eco-friendly solutions. Nanotech Coatings Caribbean Limited is proud to contribute to this effort for responsible business practice.
