Quality and the environment

All our products are manufactured in the Nordic region. Not because it sounds good, but because it gives us full control over the products we manufacture and sell.

For you as a customer, it is a guarantee that our products maintain the quality standards you expect. It is also a guarantee that our products are made in the best possible way with consideration to the environment. We are active in a variety of classification and certification systems within quality and environmental protection. We are of course proud of this. The work we do is an ongoing process, as many of these systems require such efforts. The goal is to provide the best quality with the least possible environmental impact.

 

Sustainability at the core

  • Our products deliver stable and lasting results
  • Our close collaborations lead to long-term relationships
  • We are certified in both quality and environmental standards.

Quality is a hackneyed word, but it always pays off in the long run

BASTA

BASTA is the construction industry’s only independent environmental assessment system for building and civil engineering products.

All information in the BASTA database is publicly available and free to access. The classification is based on manufacturers’ self-declaration, ensuring they know exactly what their products contain.

By registering a product in the BASTA system, the manufacturer guarantees that it meets BASTA’s strict criteria. These include limits on the content of certain heavy metals, carcinogens, reproductive toxicants, and other hazardous substances. Today, Combimix has several products listed in the BASTA database. These registrations confirm that the products meet the BASTA criteria for environmental and health-related properties. Visit www.bastaonline.se for up-to-date information. Can't find a specific Combimix product in the BASTA register? Get in touch, and we’ll do our best to resolve it!

BREEAM

The BRE Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is a UK-based environmental certification system developed and administered by the Building Research Establishment (BRE). It is the most widely used international assessment system in Europe.

BREEAM certification is carried out by trained and accredited assessors. The environmental performance of buildings is evaluated across several key areas. To earn points, projects must meet minimum requirements related to project management, energy consumption, indoor climate (including ventilation and lighting), water efficiency, waste management, land use, and the building’s impact on its surroundings. BREEAM also assesses factors such as proximity to public transport, choice of building materials, and potential environmental pollutants. Additional points can be awarded for innovative technical solutions that improve the building's sustainability.

Byggvarubedömningen

Byggvarubedömningen is a Swedish economic association with 25 current members, including SKANSKA, Storstockholm Public Transport (SL), HSB, AB Svenska Bostäder, and Örebro County Council Properties, among others. The organisation conducts material assessments based on criteria similar to those used by SundaHus. A building product can be submitted for evaluation by either the producer or the customer.

Faromärkning (CLP)

The Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulation is a harmonised European chemicals legislation with the aim that, regardless of where you are in the world, the hazard labelling of a product should be consistent. The symbols used are diamond-shaped pictograms with a white background and a red border. There are nine different symbols in total. More information is available on the website of the Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemikalieinspektionen).

LEED

LEED is an American system that scores nearly every aspect of a construction project as a whole. Points can be earned in various areas: land, water, energy, materials and other building resources, indoor climate, location and transportation, knowledge and education, innovative design, and regional adaptation (mainly relevant in the USA with its state-specific regulations). LEED certifies buildings at three levels: silver, gold, and platinum.
