A tree with Proludic's name on it

The TUV is an independent laboratory that inspects and certifies the Proludic equipment, in conformity with the safety standards in force.

At the end of 2010, the TUV associated its customers in a "Plant my tree" operation.

The action is aimed at combating climate change.
Global warming stems from the increased quantities of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main gas concerned.

The idea is that as trees grow, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, store part of the carbon and give off oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere. Thanks to this phenomenon, known as photosynthesis, trees act as filters and lead to reductions in the impact of CO2 on global warming.

Through this concrete action, emissions of CO2 from our activities (industries, transport, heating, deforestation, etc.) could be partially compensated by planting trees.

The tree planted by the TUV on Proludic's behalf is located in Döttesfeld-Oberähren in Germany.
Coordinates: +50° 36’ 31.06”, + 7° 34’ 44.59”.

Over and above its considerable environmental policy commitments concerning questions of environmental protection, Proludic is pleased to be able to inform you, through this action, of its participation in the "Plant my tree" campaign initiated by the TUV.

This operation gives us an opportunity to remind you that a Proludic structure provides you with a guarantee as to use of wood from ecologically managed forests, manufacturing from 100% recyclable metals, a colouring process based on solvent-free paint and pigmented resins that are free of heavy metals, manufacturing processes that keep VOC emissions to a minimum, efficient waste management with 80% of waste recycled and the other 20% used to produce energy, optimized packaging to rationalise transport costs and combat pollution, and the involvement of the whole Company in a sustainable development procedure.
