Why the number 110 has a special meaning: sustainability and design as a commitment at Inofix
At Inofix, we understand sustainability as a responsibility that is integral to how we design, manufacture, and present home solutions. It's not just about incorporating recycled or recyclable materials, but about reviewing every decision to move towards more responsible, better-designed products and packaging that are easier to integrate into a recovery cycle.
Our commitment to the environment stems from a simple idea: every product has a life before, during, and after its use. Therefore, design should not only respond to criteria of functionality, aesthetics, or protection, but also to how materials can reduce their impact and, where possible, be recovered more efficiently.
Designing with the entire cycle in mind
A well-designed product should not only function correctly. It should also be clear, durable, easy to use, and consistent with more responsible resource management. In sectors like hardware and DIY, where products must be protected, clearly explained, and arrive in good condition at the point of sale, packaging design also plays a crucial role.
At Inofix, we work to ensure our solutions are useful and practical, but also that their materials, presentation, and communication foster a more conscious relationship with the environment. This means reducing unnecessary materials, improving packaging composition, and promoting clearer separation at the end of its useful life.
Reducing PVC and Moving Towards Recycled Materials
One of the areas where this commitment has been most clearly realized is the evolution of our packaging. Over the last three years, we have reduced PVC consumption in our product packaging by approximately 15% annually, progressively replacing it with rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate).
This change reflects a commitment to continuous improvement: moving towards materials that are better integrated into recycling systems and reducing the use of those that generate the greatest impact. Sustainability is not built with a single decision, but with a series of progressive steps that allow us to improve the environmental performance of the brand and its products.
Responsibly Sourced Forest Materials
The choice of materials is also part of this commitment. Inofix has a Chain of Custody system in accordance with the standards of the PEFC and FSC organizations, certified by independent and accredited bodies.
This system allows us to ensure the use of forest and tree products originating from sustainably managed forests. In practice, this guarantee helps connect product development, packaging, and forest-based materials with more responsible management of natural resources.
Clean energy to reduce emissions and products designed for a recovery cycle
That's why the number 110 has special meaning for Inofix. It helps us translate a technical figure—the emissions avoided—into a more relatable and understandable image: that of a group of trees symbolizing growth, recovery, and the future. It's not just about measuring the impact, but about making it visible and easy to understand.
This equivalence directly connects with our approach to sustainability: moving forward step by step, with concrete decisions that can be clearly explained. The installation of photovoltaic panels is not an isolated action, but an improvement that is part of a progressive transformation in how we produce and consume energy, and how we reduce our environmental footprint.
Sustainability doesn't depend solely on the final product. It also lies in the processes, the energy we use, how we organize our operations, and the decisions we make to progressively reduce the impact of our daily activities.
For Inofix, sustainability is not just a message added to the product. It's a way of understanding innovation: creating useful solutions for everyday life, but doing so with a more responsible approach to resources, materials, and the environment.
This action is part of a broader vision: reducing our impact not only through the product or packaging, but also through how we conduct our business, understanding that better manufacturing also means using cleaner energy and adopting a more responsible approach to the environment.
A Social and Corporate Commitment
Respect for the environment is part of Inofix's social and corporate commitment. As a brand linked to the home, to improving spaces, and to everyday life, we believe that every small solution can contribute to a more responsible way of consuming, using, and reusing materials.
We continue working to ensure our products meet real needs, maintaining a balance between functionality and design and environmental responsibility. Because better design also means considering the impact of every decision and the cycle that begins long before purchase and continues long after use.
