Made in Belgium
FINEO is produced in Lodelinsart (Belgium). This is a very conscious choice
because the Belgian electricity network emits little carbon. The ecological footprint would be much larger if the production were to take place in another country. Moreover, in 2019, FINEO installed a large number of solar panels allowing the company to operate as much as possible on green electricity generated on-site. In other words, FINEO is a thoroughly local product, where sustainability and high quality go hand in hand.

Smart transport ensures low emissions
FINEO glass is lighter and thinner than double or triple glazing. This means that more glass sheets are taken per journey and so fewer lorries need to take to the road. Thanks to Belgium’s central location, logistically efficient exports are possible to neighbouring countries with minimum emissions. As a result, the emissions from the transport of FINEO are much lower than those of other manufacturers.

FINEO goes for the circular economy
Reuse is very important. FINEO glass is 100% recyclable and without loss of quality. In 2020, 97.1% of all waste was reused, either by the company itself, or by suppliers or contractors. In addition, 1% was incinerated, from which energy was extracted. Finally, in 2020, only 1.9% went to the landfill. While this is certainly a good figure, the goal is 0%. Is 0% possible? Between 1998 and 2020, parent company AGC Glass Europe succeeded in reducing the amount of waste going to landfill by 95%. We are convinced that FINEO will be waste neutral within a few years.

Certificates achieved
Thanks to investments in sustainability, FINEO has already obtained the following certificates. The Environmental Product Declaration is a certificate where a company scientifically identifies the climate impact of its products, by means of a Life Cycle Analysis. In this way, a company can prove that it operates in an environmentally friendly way.
