Sustainability and social responsibility
Good for your home, good for the environment
Here at Komar, we firmly believe that businesses can play a big part in protecting our environment. This is why we want to ensure that our company operates as sustainably as possible in terms of production methods and energy supply. And, of course, we also encourage our staff to act in an environmentally responsible way in their everyday work.
We consider it of utmost importance that we offer our customers high-quality products that fulfil all possible requirements in terms of the environment and sustainability. This is why we are proud to have been awarded the following quality seals and certificates.
FSC®Sustainability and environmental protection are a matter of utmost importance to Komar. This is why we are proud to be able to contribute towards a better environment, as is proven by the our FSC® certification. The FSC® certificate refers to the so-called wood supply chain. It guarantees that only wood sourced from responsibly managed forests is used in Komar products and that this wood is traceable in all production and retail processes: from forest manager to photomural. The wood used to produce Komar photomurals comes from sustainably managed forests – and fulfils with economic, ecological and social requirements.
GreenguardKomar's non-woven material has been awarded the "Confidence in Textiles" certificate, which guarantees ecological and socially responsible production conditions along the entire supply chain. Komar products have also been tested for harmful substances, and it was confirmed that Komar's textile products present no risk to human health. The testing and certification system applies to textile raw materials, intermediate and end products – in other words, all stages of processing.
Harmful substance testing tests for substances prohibited by law, legally regulated substances, substances known to be harmful to health and health protection parameters. The awarded certificate confirms that Komar's non-woven products are absolutely harmless in terms of the above-mentioned criteria. This means Komar wallpapers are completely safe and can be used in rooms for children, such as bedrooms or kindergarten rooms.
Emission labelThe inks used to print Komar products have been awarded the prestigious Greenguard Certification for Indoor Air Quality®. Our inks were tested for indoor pollutant emissions under strict conditions in a climatic chamber. The test is carried out according to the requirements of the rigorous French VOC Label. Our products received an A+ rating, which is the best possible result. The test is based on ISO 16000, which describes the methodology required by law in Germany. The methodology is also used by the Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB) and the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt).
Phthalate FreeNone of Komar’s products contain these plasticisers. We deliberately avoid these types of plastic in order to protect you and the environment from harmful substances. Even without PVC, our murals have a fabric-like and velvety surface texture.
Triman-LogoThe packaging material of our photomurals is marked with the Triman logo.The logo indicates that these products are recyclable, collected separately and cannot be disposed of with the residual household waste.
PVC-freeOur murals do not contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC). When you buy a Komar wallpaper, you are not only doing something good for the environment but also for yourself.
