The transition towards a more sustainable industry does not depend solely on the energy efficiency of heat pumps. It also encompasses the entire product lifecycle, including key aspects such as logistics, materials and waste management.
At Efitherma, we believe that sustainability should be an integral part of every stage of the process. That is why we have developed our Sustainability and Circular Packaging Plan, an initiative designed to reduce our environmental impact through the return, reuse and recycling of packaging materials.
This programme is designed to meet the increasingly stringent environmental requirements of the European market.
Every heat pump delivered to a construction site generates a considerable amount of packaging materials, including:
In large-scale projects, such as construction works, these materials can generate significant volumes of waste, with a direct impact on several key areas:
Furthermore, an increasing number of projects are required to meet international sustainability standards such as BREEAM or LEED, where waste management and material traceability are becoming key criteria. This has led the sector to rethink the traditional packaging model.
The European Union recently adopted the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), a key piece of legislation that forms part of the European circular economy strategy.
This regulation sets out very clear objectives:
This is prompting many companies to develop reusable packaging and reverse logistics systems, which is why Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the industry.
This approach means that manufacturers are no longer solely responsible for the product they sell, but also for aspects relating to its logistics cycle, such as: the packaging used, its recyclability and even its recovery after use.
In this market, energy efficiency is now taken for granted, prices are becoming increasingly competitive in the entry-level segments, and manufacturers are distinguishing themselves through added value.
El embalaje circular aporta precisamente ese valor diferencial. Entre sus principales beneficios destacan:
Fewer disposable materials means less waste management, lower costs and a tidier workplace.
Particularly in projects that require environmental certifications.
It enables you to monitor the entire lifecycle of the materials used in transport.
Many low-cost devices still use packaging that is entirely disposable and harmful to the environment.
The estimated emissions savings amount to approximately 5,400 kg of CO₂, which reinforces Efitherma’s sustainability credentials as it rolls out its circular packaging scheme and aligns with the environmental expectations of the European market.
One of the main benefits is the reduction in emissions associated with the production of new packaging materials. Thanks to the return and reuse system, there is no need to manufacture a significant proportion of the pallets and packaging required for each shipment.
In addition to European regulations, many countries have national schemes offering tangible incentives. Here are a few examples:
It offers financial incentives for the use of recycled plastics in packaging, with subsidies of up to €1,000 per tonne in certain cases.
They are developing advanced systems for:
There are producer responsibility schemes such as:
With the aim of applying these circular economy principles, Efitherma has developed a structured system for the return, reuse and recycling of packaging materials for equipment destined for the international market.
The programme initially includes:
Unlike the traditional ‘use and throw away’ model, this system combines the reuse of materials with responsible recycling, significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with the transport of equipment.
The system is designed to be simple, transparent and efficient for customers.
Efitherma offers a dedicated service for the return of wooden pallets and cardboard packaging associated with the units supplied.
These materials can be returned to our premises for reuse in future shipments.
To help cover the costs of running the system, a small fee is charged per item, which is refunded in full when the materials are returned in good condition.
Therefore:
Returned items must:
Returns logistics are arranged in advance with Efitherma or its logistics partner, and refunds may be issued either as a credit against future invoices or as a direct payment, as agreed.
By their very nature, plastic materials are managed through local recycling by specialist companies.
In a circular packaging system, the installer plays a key role because they are the ones who interact directly with the packaging when the equipment arrives on site. Without their cooperation, the system could not function, as the materials would be left scattered around the site and would ultimately be treated as conventional waste.
Furthermore, the installer is the person most familiar with the dynamics of the site and can organise the packaging efficiently after installation, making it easier to collect or return it in accordance with the agreed logistics.
