Environmental

Samsung Cheil Industries Inc manufacturers of Staron® are committed to leading the industry in minimizing the impact of their activities on the environment.

 They do this in a number of ways:

  1. Samsung Cheil Industries Inc are accredited with ISO 14001 2004 Environmental Management System and as such aim to reduce the environmental footprint of it's manufacturing processes and decrease the pollution and waste produced.  The manufacturing process and post process is considered "Environmentally Friendly and Sound"
  2. There are no heavy metals or toxic chemicals used in the production of Staron®.  All suppliers of the raw materials used in the manufacture of Staron® are supervised under a strict Samsung quality control programme.  The products are manufactured complying with the requirements of RoHS (Restricting the use of Hazardous Substances) and NSF (National Sanitation Foundation, USA) ensuring Staron® manufacturing meets the environmental standards required.
  3. The high standards and efficiency of production in the manufacture of Staron® result in limited waste and reduced energy consumption.  Scrap and waste are recycled and re-used in  the manufacture of new products.
  4. The process of manufacturing Staron® Solid Surface involves the reaction of two compounds - acrylic resin and aluminium tri-hydroxide.  The resulting product is a chemically stable material with limited impact on indoor air quality.
  5. Staron® has a very low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content and has achieved the USA Green Guard Certificate and the Korean HB Certificate, both of which require a very strict indoor air purification policy.
Recycling of Staron®

With the exception of solid colours, several Staron® colours contain recycled materials.  During the manufacturing process previously manufactured solid surfacing can be crushed and re-used in the production of new solid surface materials.  The product can contain up to 10% recycled material.  All Staron® solid surface colours can be used in the recycling process.Staron® is considered a re-usable material and can be refurbished to look "as new" reflecting effective recycling of this quality product.  This demonstrates consideration for our environment and also reflects potential cost savings.  Otherwise, waste products can be incinerated or disposed of to landfill in compliance with local regulations.
