Faram advocates for environmental sustainability 

Claiming to be sustainable, green, and environmentally conscious is easy. Actually being so every day is quite another thing above and beyond fancy words and the admittedly very important environmental certifications. It is especially difficult to be truly “sustainable” if many production processes reside outside the company, c/o third-party suppliers. 

This is one of the reasons Faram wanted to keep the main production processes in-house. Having almost everything in-house truly allows you to keep the environment at the center of attention in every stage, from design to shipping the finished product. For example, the design stage, when it comes to choosing product components, considers the recycling or reuse of materials paramount. The final stage requires recyclable packaging and focuses on reducing transportation-related waste. 

In particular, Faram is proud to say: 

  • it complies with the international Forest Stewardship Council standard: FSC-STD-40-004 

  • all of its products are 100% recyclable 

  • the company takes back all used packaging and arranges directly for its recycling 

  • thanks to the mappings carried out, Faram furnishings are instrumental in building certifications, be they LEED, BREEAM, or WELL Building 

To measure the effectiveness of its efforts, Faram established a set of KPIs, including, in particular: 

  • optimizing machine processing so that aluminum scrap (also sent for recycling) does not exceed 5% 

  • reducing waste sent to landfills, never exceeding 3%

Sustainability of processes

Energy resources
Methane gas for civil purposes and electrical power (100% from renewable sources) for production purposes;
Monitoring of power plants (heating, electricity, power, lighting…) and machinery;
Emissions
Periodic monitoring of emissions
Discharges into the ground and the waters
No industrial discharges into the ground or the waterways;
No draining pumps on site. Only water consumption for civil use.
Periodic monitoring of the surface finishing processes.
Waste
Waste materials (mainly aluminium and steel) that cannot be reused in the production cycle are assigned to authorized companies for recycling and post-consumer use;
The minimum part that cannot be used for new industrial cycles is sent to qualified companies, together with waste that can be disposed of with urban waste.
