DECOTEC is becoming more involved every day and is making progress in taking charge of its environmental impact in order to participate in the protection of the planet’s resources.
Environmental responsibility
Aware of the ecological footprint that a company's activity can generate, DECOTEC strives to apply the principles of sustainable development throughout the manufacturing process of its bathroom furniture.
Resources of controlled origins
We pay attention to the origin of the materials used in the manufacture of our bathroom furniture.
We have also invested in a wood cutting machine which optimizes cutting; so we cut our wood needs as accurately as possible to manufacture our furniture, taking care to preserve limited resources.
In addition, the remaining cuts are reused.
The possibility of custom manufacturing contributes to our desire to promote a mode of consumption that is more respectful of resources, both human and natural. DECOTEC chooses to produce as close as possible to its customers in order to limit its ecological impact.
The old colorama
New colorama brochure
Aware of its environmental responsibility and fully committed to concrete actions, DECOTEC has chosen to replace the plastic pads of its colorama with pads made from scrap wood from the manufacture of its furniture.
New recycled packaging
A return to basics with a packaging with a sleek design and 100% recyclable.
DECOTEC has modified the packaging of its iconic Longchamps towel holder to use recyclable ink. Exit the chromo color, make way for simplicity.
The old packaging
Recycled waste
Each workshop has a container for collecting paper and cardboard that it no longer needs. These bins are collected by a specialised company, enabling us to recycle all cardboard and paper from the company and from deliveries.The cardboard we use for our own packaging is itself made from recycled cardboard; the packaging of our furniture respects the environment, cardboard and paper are recycled and recyclable.
DECOTEC participates in the Eco Emballage programme, in order to reintegrate all its waste into a transformation process and thus fight against waste.
By paying a contribution to this eco-organisation, DECOTEC participates in the financing of projects for the recycling of household packaging. The logo is present on all our furniture packaging.
French manufacturing carbon footprint
All our collections are made in Sarthe.
Mirrors made in our workshops travel less than those made in foreign countries.
Our furniture is delivered from our factory located in Tuffé, which considerably reduces the carbon impact linked to transport.
