LINAK has a mission tagline: "We Improve Your Life". This means a strong concern for the climate and the environment. LINAK engineers therefore continuously strive to develop and improve our products so that they have minimal environmental impact. One way of doing this is by acknowledging and embracing the fact that there are alternatives to materials containing polyvinyl chloride – commonly known as PVC.
PVC-free products for adjustable comfort furniture such as single actuators, TWINDRIVE® dual actuators as well as our cables and hand controls are marked with the LINAK PVC-Free™ logo. This makes it easy for manufacturers, bed designers and brands alike to design more environmentally green beds for their customers - using our products.
Did you know...?
PVC is a type of plastic often used in cables and as a coating for electric components? To make it pliable, plasticisers are added – the most widely used being phthalates. Phthalates are suspected of disrupting hormones, of being related to several chronic diseases, and of causing birth defects. PVC needs to be recycled separately, which can be costly and, when incinerated, releases dioxins.
