Sostenibilità

Bertolini church chairs are built with locally sourced materials. Chair frames are built from 16-gauge cold-rolled steel, which is 100% recyclable. This durable frame configuration will last twice as long as other frames, supporting sustainability by lengthening the product’s life cycle.

Recyclability

Base del sedile riciclabile

IL Sedia da chiesa impressioni features our patented FormFlex™ seat base for boosted comfort during worship services and church events. This high-quality, molded plastic seat base also increases the product’s life.

IL Essentials V2 Worship Chair is built with a plywood seat base, which is also fully recyclable. All Bertolini seat bases support 1,000 pounds (453.5 kg), which supports sustainability by extending the life of the chair.

Schiuma riciclabile

For our Impressions Chair, we use high-resilience, cold cured, flex-molded foam. It is fully recyclable and will last over 25 years, contributing to a long product life and the health of the planet.

Recyclable Brisa Folding Tables & Chairs

Our Brisa folding tables and chairs are fully recyclable. They feature steel frames and recyclable HDPE polyethylene (plastic) surfaces.

Fully Recyclable HD Series Chairs

IL Serie HD of stacking chairs are also recyclable. The HD Select E Sedia impilabile HD Premier frames are made of recyclable steel tubing.

Processo di rivestimento a emissioni zero

Bertolini does not use electroplating for chair finishes because of the environmental dangers of plating (which include toxic air pollution). Instead, Bertolini offers a more environmentally friendly powder coated steel frame finish, which lasts longer and is safer. At Bertolini, we use a state-of-the-art, electrostatic, powder coating system which is self-contained, has zero emissions, and has zero environmental impact.

Riduzione dei rifiuti di imballaggio

Abbiamo ridotto il cartone nell'imballaggio delle nostre sedie da chiesa eliminando la necessità di scatole completamente chiuse nella maggior parte delle consegne. Le sedie vengono consegnate in pile protettive termoretraibili personalizzate per ridurre l'impatto ambientale dell'imballaggio.

Industry-Leading Warranties

Bertolini chairs have solid warranties, which helps the planet by preventing waste from fast furniture.

Warranty terms vary depending on the model. The Impressions Church Chair has a 25-year warranty. The Essentials V2 Chair has a 5-year limited warranty. Other products in the Bertolini lineup have 1 to 5-year warranties.

Recycling Program

The Bertolini recycling program continues to expand as knowledge and technology advance. This program includes recycled materials purchased and used in the product (pre-production recycling) as well as materials recycled after production (post-production recycling).

Programma di riciclaggio pre-produzione

Acciaio:

• I tubi d'acciaio utilizzati nei telai delle sedie Bertolini contengono in media 23% acciaio riciclato post-consumo. Ciò rappresenta circa 25% del peso di una sedia standard.
• Steel tube yield is very high because it’s cut to size at the mill, which eliminates waste caused by different lengths required to build chairs.

Plastica:

• La nostra plastica ABS utilizzata nella produzione di schienali e basi di sedili contiene materiale riciclato 80% o "rimacinato". Ciò rappresenta circa 14% del peso di una sedia media. Anche il materiale di scarto ABS residuo degli schienali stampati viene riciclato.

Legna:

• Plywood seat bases are used on some models where plastic is not used. Our plywood is made of recycled scraps of a renewable resource (wood).

Tessuti:

• Polyolefin fabrics are manufactured from industrial waste, as a by-product of gasoline manufacturing, thus removing raw materials from the waste stream. This fabric is also highly durable, rated at 250,000 double rubs, which contributes to the product’s long life, and is recyclable.

Schiuma:

• Some of our foam contains sustainable soy/bio-based polyol material, which replaces non-renewable petroleum-based polyols. This type of polyol improves energy efficiency and reduces the carbon and environmental footprint.

Programma di riciclaggio post-prodotto

Acciaio:

• Scrap/recycle dumpsters are placed throughout the facility. The dumpsters are picked up by a scrap metal dealer for recycling into other steel products.

Alluminio:

• All scrap aluminum is collected and then taken to a recycling facility.
• Anche le lattine di alluminio vengono riciclate.

Cartone:

• Corrugated cardboard is flattened and recycled.

Plastica:

• All ABS plastic scrap generated from the injection process is reground and reused. This means that zero plastic scrap is wasted.

Legna:

• All wood dust and scrap wood pieces are sent to a recycling facility.

Polveri:

• Excess Powder coating used in the manufacturing process is collected and recycled as “Reclaimed.” Reclaimed powder is used on chair carts and dollies.

Schiuma:

• Le sedie realizzate con schiuma stampata eliminano gli sprechi causati dal taglio della schiuma.
• Scrap foam is returned to the supplier who bales it and sends it to be made into carpet padding. This type of carpet padding is higher quality than virgin poly.
