Green Talk Explanation
The needed aim of sustainable design is to provide products and services in a way that reduces the use of non-renewable resources and minimises environmental impact. Sustainable design is often viewed as a necessary tool for achieving sustainability. Sustainable development and sustainability have become important concepts in Eva-Last's planning field, with the recognition that current consumption and living habits may be leading to problems such as the overuse of natural resources. Not only do Eva-Last's products use far less natural resources (timber), they also eradicate the use of toxic chemicals used for the treatment and sealing of wooden decking or cladding, chemicals that are both harmful to the environment and to animals and birds.
Green materials are those materials used in construction that have the least impact on the environment and offer the highest level of performance. Eva-Last strongly believes in the use of green materials, this is evident in the fact that every single one of Eva-Last's products are undoubtedly 'green material'.
The conversion of raw materials into a construction material or product normally requires extensive manufacturing processes, most of which are energy-intensive. This is not the case with Eva-Last products, as they are manufactured in a closed and controlled process according to strict regulations of German environment laws. The factory itself, independent of the national power grid, meets all power needs by burning the lower grade waste timber in the manufacturing process. The only emission is a tiny amount of steam exhausted during the drying process.
Green construction requires the erection of a structure in a manner that does the least harm to the environment, while maximising the resources used. This is why all Eva-Last's structures undergo a detailed process of design, once designed and incorporated into AutoCAD, each stage of construction is planned down to the last screw and end cap, both minimising cost and maximising the resources used.
Green construction will also consider the needs of construction workers, especially their occupational health and safety. A building site cannot be green if it has abused workers rights in the process of building the structure. This is why Eva-Last has a fully-fledged Health and Safety division, an up to date letter of good standing and a clear understanding of what is required in this respect when tackling both large and small projects.
In order to minimise waste and harmful and/or dangerous working practices, Eva-Last are adopting lean manufacturing practices. Coupled with offsite construction methods and planning where as much of the building is manufactured under factory conditions and taken to site for installation.
For all of these reasons, Eva-Last's materials are those that have a lesser impact on the environment, require less energy and chemical processing (no Isocynate, no phosphates and no Halogenes are added, the profiles are free from chlorine and heavy metals, we do not use PVC) and are highly recyclable (The disposal of waste pieces from developed material is classified as a house rubbish or bulky rubbish, and can be dumped or can go through a waste incineration process).
In conclusion Green materials are those that have superior performance characteristics in terms of thermal performance, maintenance, longevity, stability, strength, and lightness, among others. Eva-Last products offer you all of these and many more advantages, so put your trust in Eva-Last and help us make our environment a better place.
