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, con-
trary to common belief, Kartell products are per-
fectly recyclable. To simplify the recycling pro-
cess, 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 dis-
posal.

ISO 14001 CERTIFICATION: 2004
In 2011 Kartell achieved UNI EN ISO 14001:
2004 certification for its support of an effec-
tive 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?
This certification attests that the organization
certified has implemented a management sys-
tem capable of controlling environmental impact
in its own business and systematically endeav-
ours to improve it in a sustainable, effective
and consistent manner. ISO 14001 certification
is not obligatory but is the result of the volun-
tary choice of the Company which decides to
define, implement, maintain and improve its
own environmental management system.
During 2017 Kartell updated its certification
standard to UNI EN ISO 14001:2015.
