DGNB Buildingcertificate – for sustainable architecture

Modern architecture builds on sustainability and ecology. Our innovative Strong Objekt needle felt qualities reach all the criteria regarding this aspect and are ecologically certified. Our needle felt nonwoven Strong Objekt qualities are ecologically safe and thus make an active contribution to ecological building design and sustainable maintenance. To ensure a comprehensive quality perspective, all relevant fields of sustainable construction are covered. VEBE offers builders and architects the necessary security already in the planning phase, so that the desired certificate is achieved. VEBE and their Strong Objekt qualities are thus labelled as green.

GUT-PRODIS

All Strong Objekt needle felt carpets meet class 33 classifications and carry the „pollutant-tested carpeting“ seal of the GUT provided by the Association of Environmentally Friendly Carpets e.V. (Gemeinshaft umweltfreundlicher Teppichboden e.V.). The aim of GUT is to ensure improved environmental and consumer protection aspects throughout the life cycle of a textile floor covering. GUT constantly conducts product audits and annual verification tests with manufacturers based on the latest scientific findings. The GUT logo and registration number indicate that the product is registered in the PRODIS system. PRODIS is the first consumer information system that combines environmental and safety aspects, with the quality and utility features of the carpet.
