Our choices make a difference!

As we at Dinair AB want to control our climate impact, we conducted life cycle analyses, LCA, on three of our air filters. The final report clearly shows that by choosing a filter frame made of recycled steel, you significantly reduce your climate footprint.  

The main environmental impact of all three air filters from a cradle-to-grave perspective comes mainly from the production of raw materials. Minimising material input and selecting the ‘right’ material therefore become crucial factors in the quest to reduce emissions.

Steel is easy to recycle because it is magnetic and therefore easy to separate before or after incineration. In addition, Dinair's steel frame is 100% recyclable and therefore has by far the lowest carbon footprint, see table below.

Sector by sector, they are formulating concrete commitments and identifying their climate targets towards 2030 and 2045. By identifying where in the value chain and in the product the main environmental impacts lie, companies can relatively easily identify major improvement opportunities.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a standardised method to quantify the potential environmental impact of a product or service from a holistic perspective. With its holistic perspective, LCA avoids the socalled burden-shifting from one part of the lifecycle to another or across impact categories. LCA results provide an understanding of a product’s life cycle burdens and hotspots and allow for identifying opportunities to mitigate adverse effects. Read more.
