We also have a strong concern for the climate and the environment. LINAK engineers continuously try to develop and improve our products in order to minimize their environmental impact.
One of the ways to do this is to acknowledge and embrace the fact that there are alternatives to materials containing polyvinyl chloride – commonly known as PVC. Practically all LINAK products for office desks, workstations, kitchens, and several more, are now PVC-free as standard.
PVC-free products such as cables, control boxes, columns and actuators, as well as most of our control panels, are marked with the LINAK PVC-free™ logo, allowing manufacturers to design more environmentally green workspace applications for their customers.
Did you know:
PVC is a type of plastic often used in cables and as coating in electric components? For it to be soft enough plasticizers are added – the most widely used being phthalates. The phthalates are suspected of disrupting hormones, and being related to several chronic diseases, as well as causing birth defects. PVC needs to be recycled separately, which can be costly and when incinerated it releases dioxins.
