Sineu Graff: Eco-responsible street furniture that complies with the AGEC law for a sustainable future
At Sineu Graff, respect for the environment is not just an idea, but a concrete commitment and a driving force behind innovation for all our products. In line with the objectives of the AGEC law (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy), we are committed to offering eco-designed, sustainable street furniture that respects our planet.
The AGEC law: A framework for the circular economy and waste reduction
Adopted in February 2020, the AGEC law imposes new rules on production, consumption and waste management in order to reduce our environmental impact. Its aim is to limit the waste of natural resources, promote recycling and encourage businesses and consumers to adopt sustainable behaviours. It also requires companies to design products that are more durable, repairable and reusable, promoting a circular economy.
For companies, particularly in the street furniture sector, this means rethinking every product from the design stage onwards to extend its lifespan and reduce its ecological footprint. With this in mind, Sineu Graff has reviewed its practices and is committed to offering towns and cities responsible, eco-designed public furniture.
Eco-design: at the heart of Sineu Graff's values
At Sineu Graff, we have taken the AGEC law as an opportunity to further improve our practices and respond to environmental challenges. In practical terms, this means designing our products using recycled and recyclable materials, while minimising production waste. Our benches, tables and litter bins are designed to be durable and resistant while respecting nature.
Our street furniture is designed to be easy to repair. In the event of damage, specific parts can be replaced without having to replace the whole product. This reduces the production of new elements and extends the lifespan of each piece of furniture, in line with the requirements of the AGEC law.
Refurbishing street furniture: a pillar of sustainability
Under the AGEC Act, the refurbishment of street furniture plays an essential role. Rather than systematically replacing damaged furniture, Sineu Graff focuses on rehabilitating existing pieces, thereby extending their life cycle. Our team designs each piece of furniture so that it can be easily dismantled, repaired or restored, while meeting quality and durability standards. Thanks to this approach, cities can maintain their infrastructure in a more sustainable way and reduce the waste of resources. This ability to restore our products rather than replace them not only helps to limit waste, but also reduces long-term costs for local authorities and businesses, while keeping public spaces in good condition.
What's more, we work in partnership with associations that help people back into work, for even greater commitment.
The advantages of choosing AGEC-compliant furniture
Opting for eco-responsible street furniture means investing in the future of our cities and reducing the overall ecological footprint. Sineu Graff products comply with the most stringent sustainability standards, and are manufactured with respect for natural resources. This approach means that products need to be replaced and recycled less frequently, reducing waste in the long term.
