Sustainability

We are committed to both,
you and the planet.
[WHAT WE DO?]
Actions taken to promote sustainable development.
Implementation of ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 standards
We have been fully committed to sustainability since 2017, when we obtained the ISO 14001 certification, followed by ISO 9001. Our passion for developing new acoustic solutions is intrinsically linked to the incorporation of environmentally friendly materials that are fully recyclable, efficient and safe, in line with our policy to provide spaces that prioritise the wellbeing of people.
LEAN method to continually improve processes
We use the LEAN method internally with our employees to promote continuous improvement of our production processes. This innovative technique aims to optimise the management and production processes put in place by companies, helping to reduce consumption of resources by making all processes more efficient. The goal is to reduce investment, time and effort.
Implementation of a waste management policy
For years we have been taking action to minimise our waste. We reuse MDF waste for product packaging, optimise cutting procedures on materials, and recycle leftover materials for other orders and for sending promotional samples.
Installation of a solar power system
We installed a solar panel system so we can produce our own renewable energy.
Incorporation of new PET and natural moss materials
At Ideatec we always try to use materials with a high proportion of recycled material. Our new Ideaflow range, for example, contains over 70% of raw materials sourced from the recycling of plastic bottles. And in our IdeaGarden range we use natural preserved reindeer moss on a PET base.
Lowering our carbon footprint
In 2021 we calculated the impact of our carbon footprint and are planning to install a solar power system that will enable us to use exclusively renewable energy in all of our production processes.
Reducing VOCs in lacquering processes through the use of water-based lacquers
We work with water-based lacquers to avoid the use of volatile organic compounds in our lacquering processes.
We promote inclusive and sustainable growth in line with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
The General Management at Ideatec is fully committed to meeting the DSGs (2030 Agenda) and we are working to improve any technical, industrial and human aspects that may be necessary to ensure that our industrial activities are as environmentally friendly as possible.

Certifications that endorse our production processes
At Ideatec, before launching any new product we perform an environmental risk assessment, evaluating environmental performance with an internal LEED score (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
For each design we take into account the use of products made with recycled raw materials, in addition to the use of wood from sustainably managed FCS® and PEFC forests. We also try to ensure that all our products can be dismantled and reused. And in terms of raw material suppliers, we prioritise local suppliers over those further away to minimise CO2 emissions when transporting materials.
