At NOWN, sustainability and durability are the cornerstones of our manufacturing philosophy. Over 60% of our products are made from recycled content, offering up to 25 years of durability. This exceptional use of recycled materials sets us apart from other companies in the architectural manufacturing field.

Many companies in our industry use significantly less recycled content, often below 40%. By utilizing over 60% recycled materials, NOWN demonstrates a stronger commitment to sustainability and resource conservation. This practice not only reduces waste but also lessens the demand for virgin materials, minimizing environmental impact.

Importance of Recycled Materials

  1. Environmental Benefits: using recycled materials reduces landfill waste and decreases greenhouse gas emissions from the production of new materials.
  2. Resource Conservation: recycling conserves natural resources, ensuring they remain available for future generations.
  3. Longevity and Durability: our products, with up to 25 years of durability, reduce the need for frequent replacements, leading to less material consumption and waste over time.

Choosing the Right Suppliers

  1. Quality and Sustainability: we carefully select suppliers who provide high-quality recycled materials and share our commitment to sustainability.
  2. Traceability and Transparency: our suppliers are transparent about the sources of their materials, ensuring that they meet our stringent sustainability criteria.
  3. Innovation and Collaboration: we work closely with suppliers to innovate and improve the quality and sustainability of our materials.
