Sustainability drives us
We are committed to embedding sustainability into everything we do—from daily operations to long-term business practices and decisions. It’s core to how we work and why we exist.
Our manufacturing partners
Our manufacturing partners PAD Technology and Jabil Inc. are ISO14001 certified for environmental management and regulatory compliance.
Our manufacturing partners are certified to ISO9001 (Quality Management) and ISO45001 (Occupational Health and Safety). These certifications are integral to our partnerships and ensure the integrity of our fully vetted supply chain.
We are committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking. Having manufacturing partners with the same commitment, is essential to us.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
We have successfully verified our entire Virtu product range life cycle assessments under EN 15894, the Environmental standard for building products.
The Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) post-verification contain all relevant information on Global Warming Potentials, acidification and eutrophication potentials for the following processes:
Raw materials’ extraction
Materials’ processing and transport to the manufacturing site
Manufacturing of products
Transport of product to site
Installation
Waste processing and disposal at end-of-life
Installation Practices & End-of-Life Practices
We are committed to a safe and efficient product delivery and installation. At the stage of commissioning, we actively employ ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ strategies
Reduce
Packaging
We use cardboard ‘nests’ instead of individual boxes for our tubes and reduced cardboard usage from 60kg to 24kg per pallet, a reduction of 64%
Reuse
Packaging
Borosilicate glass
We repurpose packaging from our suppliers for other uses until it’s end-of-life
We reuse glass tubes, giving them a second life, for new projects, without compromising Virtu’s performance
