Sustainable quality
LAUFEN manufactures products that allow water, a precious resource, to be used sparingly and therefore demonstrates its commitment to preserving natural resources. It therefore places priority on environmentally-friendly production, using energy and raw materials sparingly at all levels of production – from development to marketing.
For example, LAUFEN reuses heat generated in the production process to dry the sanitary ware. In Austria, LAUFEN was awarded the "EMAS Environment Prize 2007" for its exemplary environmental management. The Swiss factory in Laufen has carried the label of the Swiss Energy Agency for Industry (EnAW) since 2006, which recognises it as a company which is actively committed to voluntary climate protection. LAUFEN also actively looks for environmentally friendly solutions for many of its products. The high gloss surface finish of the mimo range of bathroom furniture, for example, is made of recycled PET material. LAUFEN, however, also places a great deal of emphasis on making products of outstanding quality – as numerous internationally-recognised product certificates and standards testify. The Swiss Q-Plus symbol certifies compliance of our products with the European standard and the established more exacting Swiss standard. This is an important aspect for LAUFEN, as only durable, low-wear products deserve to be called environmentally-friendly – after all, avoidance comes before recycling. LAUFEN thus helps customers to live in harmony with the environment and reduce energy costs. Our products therefore also feature the latest energy and water-saving technologies, such as the newest generation of water-saving WCs: several LAUFEN toilets flush using an optional 4.5 or three litre dual flush system as opposed to six or three litre conventional WCs.
We also have particularly efficient urinals that require no more than 1 litre of water for flushing. For the public sector, we even have urinals with a special low-maintenance siphon: 0-litre solution. It goes without saying that, in the interests of sustainability, this catalogue is printed on FSC certified paper sourced from sustainable forest management.
