100% Recyclable
The 316L stainless steel which is made for the COCOON ‘brushed Inox’ bathroom faucets is 100% recyclable. The main alloying elements of chromium, nickel and molybdenum can be easily recovered and returned to the production process. COCOON believes that stainless steel recycling is an economically viable, self-sustaining process.
Eco Friendly Products
Selected for their durability and quality, the materials that COCOON uses for their taps, basins and bath guarantee a long life span and are eco-friendly. Not only because the material itself is recyclable and lead-free, but also because they use special water saving techniques to keep the carbon footprint as small as possible.
Low Environmental Impact
COCOON is proud to only use cold working methods for stainless steel and solid surface material tubs and basins. The energy that powers the production is certified clean. Water is saved and waste is separated to be recycled, which reduces the impact of the company on the ecosystem.
Lead Free Taps
The internal and exposed parts are made of 316L stainless steel. For projects in California and Vermont, where there are special requirements for California Health and Safety Code (AB 1953) that concerns lead in potable water systems, COCOON can deliver 100% stainless steel build-in valves for the wall mounted basins to be fully compliant to these standards.
