SUSTAINABILITY
The Formatech collection is the result of a careful, environmentally conscious process, manufactured in facilities where all raw production waste, as well as all wastewater, are recovered and reused. Florim – a Benefit Corporation and certified B Corp – generates up to 100 % of the electricity required to power its Italian production plants. When additional energy is needed, it is purchased exclusively from certified renewable sources. The collection contains up to 50 % recycled material and is also part of the CarbonZero project: Carbon Neutral surfaces that offset all CO2 emissions over their entire lifecycle.
