SPM Environmental Engagement

A range that respects the environment

SPM manufactures wall protection products and handrails from non-polluting and eco-friendly materials.All SPM products exceed the requirements of current regulations.

Exemplary composition

• Non-polluting materials
  SPM PVC products contain no heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, tin, etc. and are PBT-free (Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxins) /BPA-free (Bisphenol A).

• Calcium-zinc thermal stabilisation
  SPM has chosen to use calcium-zinc stabilisation, which is non-toxic andposes no environmental threat. SPM is therefore ahead of the game,emphasising yet again its commitment to sustainable development.

  
  
• Air quality
  Our products are tested according to the norms serie ISO 16000-6.They have a rate of less than 100 μg/m3 over 3 days, that is to say a tinyrate compared to the required thresold.Our panels were rewarded with Greenguard Gold label for their lowemission ensuring good air quality indoor.

Recycling

Our materials are mainly PVC and aluminium and thus 100% recyclable. To thisend, all the offcuts from the manufacturing process are also recycled.

Reduced environmental impact during installatin and in use

• Adhesives
  We recommend the use of SPM adhesives when installing our products, either a water-based acrylic adhesive or a universal mastic glue on a MS polymer base. These adhesives use no solvents and thus present no threat to either the users’health or the environment.

• Reduced levels of waste through custom-made lengths
  SPM offers a pre-cutting service (standard lengths from the catalogue or made-to-measure) that eliminates wasteful offcuts and recycles the offcuts from the sizes cut to length.
  
  
• Cleaning and maintenance
  The products are easy to clean and reduce the consumption of both waterand cleaning products.
  
  
• Durability
  SPM solutions extend infrastructural life spans and also extend considerablythe intervals between wall repair and renovation work.

Product and building certification

• Health, Quality and Environmental guidelines
  SPM products are suitable for use in building projects adopting High Quality Environment (HQE) standards.
  
  
• European REACH Regulations
  European Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals (REACH) regulations are intended to improve protection standards for human health and the environment. They require all manufacturers to declare any chemical substances listed as hazardous that may be used in the composition of their products. None of the substances used to manufacture SPM products appears in the list drawn up under the REACH regulations.
