A key component of the OBO sustainability strategy is the increase of the material recycling component in production. Excess material or waste from production is not simply thrown away but is, wherever possible, fed back into the production cycle.
The level of innovation here is illustrated clearly by the OBO flush-mounted and cavity wall boxes, which are manufactured with 100% green eco-power. Recycling products from battery production are used to produce the flush-mounted boxes. The finished OBO flush-mounted boxes are made up of 80% recycled products.
Here too, the flush-mounted and cavity wall boxes can score with regard to sustainability: The entire portfolio is 100% halogen-free, ensuring additional safety in case of fire, as this reduces the creation of toxic smoke gases. In addition, the air-tight variants of the cavity wall boxes are tested and certified for noise protection and achieve noise insulation of 70 dB without weakening the standard dry construction wall.
