How We Reduce Our Environmental Impact

Concrete Actions Across Our Entire Value Chain

Our Sustainability Policy - Small Impact on Environment, Big Impact on Quality

At Smartex we pride ourselves on producing environmentally friendly, sustainable home hardware that has a big impact on the décor, but a small impact on the environment. But what does sustainability really mean?

In short, a product is considered sustainable if it does not deplete natural, non-renewable resources, does not directly harm the environment and is made in a socially responsible manner.

As a company, we recognise the importance of sustainability and are therefore firmly committed to expanding our use of sustainable materials because of their positive impact on the planet.

Durable Products for Long Lifespan

We consider the economic use of resources when designing and developing products, including transport packaging, in order to consume as little raw material and packaging material as possible and to recycle as much material as possible.

In addition to the recyclable materials put into production, our products have a longer lifespan, which reduces our carbon footprint from ongoing production and frees our customers from having to constantly replace hardware and reduce resource waste.

key measures

•10-year warranty on all products – demonstrating confidence in durability

•High-quality materials – fiberglass, aluminum, PVC designed for longevity

•UV-resistant coatings – preventing degradation in harsh sunlight

•Corrosion-resistant – suitable for coastal and humid environments

•Minimal maintenance required – reducing resource consumption over product lifetime

Environmental benefits

•Customers don’t need to replace products frequently

•Reduced waste going to landfills

•Lower carbon footprint from reduced production cycles

•Resource conservation through extended product life

Material Recycling Program

We are also proud to be able to combine our sustainability strategy with our internal efforts and practise it in our production processes and office work, for example by recycling materials generated in the production process, which are carefully sorted and sent for recycling.

This includes aluminium scraps, sheet metal perforations and cut-outs, paper, cardboard and plastic are also recycled.

Type of recycled materials

•Aluminum scraps – from cutting and extrusion processes

•Sheet metal perforations and cut-outs – from stamping operations

•Paper and cardboard – from packaging and office use

•Plastic materials – from production waste

•Fiberglass offcuts – from mesh cutting operations

•PVC materials – from injection and extrusion processes

Recycling process

1.Careful sorting at production line

2.Separate collection by material type

3.Quality check to ensure recyclability

4.Partnership with recycling facilities for proper processing

5.Tracking and reporting recycling volumes

Efficient Resource Management

In the product design stage, we take production suitability, economic benefits, reliable operation, and convenient maintenance as the standards, rationally configure so as to consume as little raw materials and packaging materials as possible, and close the material cycle as much as possible.

Design stage optimization

•Material efficiency – optimized product design to minimize waste

•Packaging reduction – using minimal packaging while ensuring product protection

•Modular design – allowing component replacement instead of full product replacement

•Standardization – reducing variety of materials needed

Production stage optimization

•Precise cutting – minimizing offcuts and waste

•Batch optimization – reducing setup waste

•Quality control – preventing defective products that become waste

•Inventory management – reducing material obsolescence

Automation and Waste Reduction

In addition to the recycled materials that go into production, our equipment is more automatic, which reduces our waste from ongoing production.

Advantages of Automation

•Precision manufacturing – automated equipment produces consistent quality with less waste

•Optimized material usage – computer-controlled cutting and processing

•Reduced human error – minimizing defects and rework

•Energy efficiency – modern equipment consumes less energy per unit produced

Equipment Maintenance and Utilization

Technicians insist on regular repair and maintenance of machines and equipments. Ensure the normal operation of machines and improve their utilization.

Maintenance Plan

•Preventive maintenance schedule for all equipment

•Regular inspection to identify issues early

•Prompt repairs to minimize downtime

•Equipment optimization to improve efficiency

•Training programs for technicians on best practices

Environmental benefits

•Extended equipment lifespan

•Reduced need for equipment replacement

•Consistent product quality reducing waste

•Optimized energy consumption

 

 

Production Planning and Cost Control

The production operation plan formulates the accurate start and end time of the process, calculates the resources used in the process, and can accurately predict the cost consumed by each process before production execution, and then carry out cost control, so that it can achieve real fine-grained resource management. Shorten delivery time, reduce waste, and synchronize quality, output and efficiency.

Fine management

•Accurate process timing – minimizing idle time and energy waste

•Resource calculation – precise material requirements planning

•Cost prediction – identifying opportunities for efficiency improvement

•Real-time monitoring – tracking resource consumption during production

•Continuous optimization – data-driven process improvements

Achievement

•Shortened delivery time

•Reduced waste

•Synchronized quality, output and efficiency

•Lower environmental impact per unit produced
