Professional kitchens ? la Metos Professional kitchens ? la Metos

We are committed to environmentally sensi-
tive thinking. In the planning, production and
delivery of professional kitchens we continu-
ously develop new, more environmentally
friendly solutions. In order to achieve improve-
ments we work closely with customers, suppli-
ers and service companies. We have been actively creating an environmental pro-
gram for Metos focusing especially on the following points:
* In training, we teach our customers new food preparation methods based on a more efficient
heat transfer technology with current food preparation equipment. The objective is to reduce
the energy and water consumption of professional kitchens, in addition to improving the efficiency
of food preparation.
* The consumption figures and their environmental impact can be reduced to less than half of
the previous figures when dishwashers are equipped with the ICS operational control system
we have developed. Even air quality in the kitchen is improved when the excess energy is not
straining the ventilation system.
* The environmental impact of the dishwashers during their entire life cycle is reviewed in our
life cycle analysis. This way the customer can review, at the point of the purchase, the environmental
factors and the real costs of equipment operation.
* We try to minimize the amount of waste produced in the production and delivery of the
products by sorting and recycling. All remaining waste, mostly of stainless steel, is recycled.
* The environmental impact of discarded products is reduced when the right materials are
used in the structures. For instance, our dishwashers are manufactured from 90 % recyclable
materials.
* Metos has created a nationwide reception and recycling system for discarded equipment. The
system ensures that all recyclable material is put to good use.
