Eco-design

Being committed to an eco-design approach, we firmly believe that the solid format is the future of the cleaning products market.

ECO-DESIGN

Eco-design consists of integrating environmental issues right from the start of the design of a product or service and during all stages of its life cycle.

Apart from the obvious benefits for the preservation of our environment, eco-design is a wonderful for innovation, pushing everyone to find new ideas and processes to improve and reduce their impact.

Chez Eurotab, this approach is integrated before with an exact measurement of our impacts and the identification of priority areas that need to be improved.

The company is also involved with the Eco-Design Centre of Saint-Etienne, an association considered as the national reference in France on the subject. As a member of the office and the Board of Directors, Eurotab thus also helps to develop eco-design.

OPTIMISED TABLETS AT EACH STAGE OF THEIR LYFE CYCLE

Chemistry is part of our daily lives and has revolutionised our quality of life. However, some of its excesses make us aware of our responsibility as manufacturers and spurs us on to make our activity more respectful of our surroundings in the long term.

Eco-design is an ideal way to achieve this goal and starts with a complete analysis of the entire life cycle of our products.  Here are some of the actions we have taken on the key stages in the life of the tablets :

FORMULATION STAGE

The formulas based on ingredients of natural origin. 

We do not use preservatives such as methylisothiazolinone in the formulations or any other substance that could have a strong negative impact on human health or the environment.

Consequently, we do not have any substances classified as carcinogenic or persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT).
 

PACKAGING STAGE

The packaging is not overlooked: the water-soluble flowpacks that surround the products are composed of 15% recycled materials. 

The boxes are made in France from 100% recycled fibres and are 100% recyclable. 
 

INDUSTRIAL STAGE

We do not consume water to produce the detergent tablets, therefore we preserve the natural resources. 

As for the energy consumed, our activity requires very little and we are striving to progressively invest in carbon neutral systems.

For example, a new reversible air conditioning system has been installed, with a heating function to take over/decarbonise part of the current gas heating system. 

 
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT

MUST-HAVE MEASUREMENT SOFTWARE

Eurotab has used Life Cycle Assessment software developed by independent experts, EVEA, since 2016.

This is a highly valuable tool for implementing the eco-design approach for our tablets. It allows us to measure the environmental impact of our tablets from the raw material to the use.

With each new tablet, we carefully measure four impact criteria that we deem to be priorities:

  • Climate change
  • Freshwater eutrophication
  • Non-renewable energy consumption
  • And water consumption

By changing raw materials and components, working closely with our partner suppliers, reviewing our industrial processes and powder compression techniques, we can measure the reduction of these four impacts, identify areas for improvement and prioritise them.
