Environmental protection measures are an important factor in the choice of my suppliers. What does Metalu Plast do for the environment?
Throughout its operating cycle, and in its production choices, Metalu Plast is vigilant in its safety and environmental approach. Metalu Plast has been implementing, for several years, multiple actions whose objective is to improve, directly and indirectly, the ecological response of its production and its daily actions. The materials used by Metalu Plast are therefore essentially recyclable materials. The group outsources a number of activities that represent an ecological, safety or pollution risk to specialist partners. Suppliers are chosen for their commitment to an ecological approach and for the quality of the information provided on their products. Finally, Metalu Plast is working on several projects promoting sustainable development in all areas of activity: communication methods, production processes.
Can Metalu Plast install the products?
Metalu Plast focuses its activity exclusively on its core business: manufacturing. Metalu Plast’s partner customers are therefore the ones who sell and install the products for the benefit of the final buyers (local authorities, municipalities, clubs, etc.).
What is the Origine France Garantie label?
The Label Origine France Garantie was created in June 2010 by the Pro France association. It is the one and only label that certifies the French origin of a product, unlike the self-declarative statements “made in France”, “made in France” which have few values and are questionable. The certification of the Origine France Garantie label is carried out by an independent certification body and is indisputable. The label is awarded on the basis of two cumulative criteria that companies must necessarily meet in order to obtain it:
- Between 50% and 100% of the unit cost price is French
- The product takes its essential characteristics in France
What is the “Eurocode” standard?
Eurocodes are European standards for the dimension and justification of building and civil engineering structures. As a manufacturer of sports equipment, we must comply with Eurocode 3 concerning the metal structural calculation (1993).
As a reminder, in the event of a calamity, experts or insurers can reproach you for not using the current rules if it appears that Eurocodes calculation could avoid it.
In order to comply with the Eurocode 3 standard, Metalu Plast has studied a very detailed calculation note, which guarantees compliance with the standard.
For the enclosure range, it allows you to size and define the posts according to the geographical areas of installation and the roughness of the environments.
The exhaustive and very precise results of this calculation note are available on request and don’t generate any additional costs. We would like to warn you very seriously if you choose to use a service provider who does not offer this service, because your responsibility and your company’s image will necessarily be involved in case of a claim.
