Green technology



Bticino takes an integrated approach to ecology and sustainability that is organised in three main directions: production, product design and the offer of sustainable solutions. Bticino's commitment focuses on the one hand on the creation of internal centres of competence and on the other, on carefully-aimed action regarding manufacturing. An example is the application of Life Cycle Assessment, a procedure to evaluate environmental load that considers the entire life cycle of a given product, from the consumption of energy to the raw materials used and environmental emissions. The adoption of LCA has led the enterprise to adopt eco-sustainable solutions such as the use of water-based varnishes on switch plates. The company's environmental policy also includes solutions for optimising domestic energy consumption, with products that can reduce waste by up to 30 per cent. Bticino Energy Saving is a programme that, based on the use of domotics, acts on three functions: thermo-regulation, light-automation and the management of energy loads of domestic appliances. They also take into account the rationalisation of packaging, reducing multi-material packaging, using recycled materials or with low energy content, reducing weight and volume for logistics purposes.
