RESOURCES AND MANUFACTURING 
With data from our suppliers, we strive to deliver product-specific information on the impacts related to resource acquisition and manufacturing.

Climate change
Based on the resources used and the manufacturing processes, we deliver CO2 cradle-to-gate footprint pr. unit  for a range of products, fitting into the customers ESG reporting on Climate Change (ESRS E1).

Pollution
We pay constant attention to limiting the use of substances of concern in our products. We have extensive black and gray lists of chemicals. Adhering to these is legally binding across all our suppliers. Read more about our supplier's code of conduct here.
It also drives our design process. We have reduced the use of flame retardants based on bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl) and phosphate (P) to less than 0,1%. By that, all our products are certified compliant with the EU RoHS and Swedish chemical tax legislation.

Plastics
Some products are available in up to 95% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials as a customer choice prioritizing the circular economy.

Packaging
Icotera is working hard to optimize product packaging and choose the green options. Packaging is compliant with Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste. 
Our products have for many years been delivered in optimized-size brown boxes without plastic covering, with single color print on minimized areas. That’s good for the environment, and the cost price too.

Our packaging is: 

• Plastic-free 
• PE bag free 
• Up to 95% recycled cardboard
• Toxic inc free
• Reduce paper printouts.

Social responsibility
We choose our suppliers carefully to ensure that they take responsibility for their workforce. All our suppliers have signed the Icotera Supplier Code of conduct, complying with our standards regarding human rights and labor rights, health, safety and anti-corruption.
