Lower environmental impact
One of the objectives of BE BED's design was the Circular Economy, whose philosophy requires that a product minimizes waste, is highly repairable, has little or no pollution, and is maximally recyclable at the end of its life. Each of these objectives has been achieved with new patented technologies that allow BE BED to have a lower environmental impact than the common Italian style beach bed and most of each type of alternative sunbed.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
At the time when on the BE BED the appearance of the Fabric is no longer acceptable as a result of use, it will be possible to carry out its "rotation" by installing it under-over. This possibility is determined by the Twin Life Reversible Fabrics that are installed on BE BED. After the first "working cycle," they can be recycled by reuse with the result of having halved the plastic waste that would have been produced.
WHAT IS SAVED?
It saves in waste production. The same will be produced only at the end of the second "work cycle" (average 6/8 years per cycle), as at the end of the first, the Fabric is reused upside down unlike with the common Italian style crib, on which the Fabric is thrown away as waste at the end of each "work cycle."
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Thanks to the FAST and PHANTOM BOLTS RESTORABLE technologies, maintenance can be carried out independently and on-site, so transporting the crib to the supplier is no longer necessary and consequently the related pollutant emissions to the environment are zeroed out.
WHAT IS SAVED?
Ecological savings are represented by the lower emission of pollutants, lower consumption of fossil resources, and over time savings from climate normalization may be considered.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Whenever the BE BED had a damaged or worn component, instead of throwing away the whole product, it will be possible to make an easy repair by ordering the replacement, with obvious money saving and a great environmental benefit.
WHAT IS SAVED?
The ease of maintenance due to FAST, TWIN LIFE and Repositionable Bolting technologies, combined with the total recyclability of the main metals used (aluminum and stainless steel), saves the Planet, significant reductions in terms of waste produced, resources consumed and harmful emissions.
QUALITY OF MATERIALS
The materials mainly used are Primary Aluminum extruded and anodized to 21 microns for the Frame, Stainless Steel for the Custom-made Hardware, High Density Nylon for the thermoplastics, PVC-coated Polyester Fabrics for the Seat, Sunshade and Headrests, and Expanded Resins for the padding. Each material meets the stringent toxicity regulations in force in Italy, so BE BED is free from any possible possibility of harming the User. Obviously BE BED allows extended life cycles in contexts other than the beach, to the point of being practically eternal in domestic settings. On the other hand, in environments with extremely high temperatures and multi-seasonal uses, it is likely to consider an intensification of maintenance interventions for the optimal preservation of the sunbed. At the end of its life, easy recycling of aluminum and stainless steel, as well as nylon and pvc, will be possible, minimizing environmental impact.
