CertificatesValves for a sustainable future
The United Nations has adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to move the world in a more sustainable direction. By helping to transport media safely, prevent leakage and save energy, our products contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They provide clean water, reduce water waste, electricity consumption and CO2 emissions, and contribute to the preservation of a clean environment.
We set on solar energy
We take pride in our commitment to clean energy sources and our significant contribution to a more sustainable future. At our factories in San Agustín de Guadalix and Paracuellos del Jarama, Spain, the installation of more than 400 solar panels covers more than 45% of our energy needs and actively feeds surplus energy into the local grid during peak periods and weekends.Our endeavors align with the European Commission's recommendations, which aim to promote clean energy production in Europe, reduce external energy dependencies, and meet CO2 reduction targets. Our solar installation has received subsidies from the European Union and Spanish Goberment trough Next Generation Founds, further supporting our dedication to clean and renewable energy. Together, we are working towards a greener and more sustainable future.
PFAS concerns and InterApp's responsible practices
While the concerns regarding Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are real, it's essential to acknowledge the diverse range of PFAS, which spans from highly toxic substances to lower-risk compounds.
At InterApp, the materials we utilise fall into the low-risk category, and we are committed to managing these substances with utmost responsibility. This commitment extends to diligent waste management and adherence to stringent environmental standards.
To gain a more comprehensive insight into the various types of PFAS and our dedicated practices, we encourage you to peruse our detailed documents:
- PFAS Hazard Assessment Framework
- Recommendations for Responsible Recycling of PFAS-Containing Products
These resources are designed to provide a deeper understanding of our approach towards balancing industrial requirements with environmental responsibility.
