Sustainable products and materials
At Tramontina, we treat each raw material with great care: everything is designed to make our consumers happy.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a material of great versatility, being used in different products. It is a material of easy and infinite recycling and of great interest in the production chain. All waste generated in the production of Tramontina’s products is reused in the companies themselves, turning them into products, which results in a significant reduction in energy consumption in the life cycle of this material.
Stainless-steel
Stainless-steel is a material that has a long service life, is 100% recyclable and is of great interest to the chain. It is very common that in its composition there are significant percentages of recycled material. Tramontina’s products made with it are widely recognized for their quality and durability, in addition to not requiring frequent maintenance or replacement – an important pillar of sustainability.
Carbon steel
The carbon steel alloys used in Tramontina’s products have an easily accessible recycling chain. In their composition, they present elements that facilitate the production process and give the product characteristics that improve resistance to wear, bending, fatigue and tenacity, which reflects on the useful life of the product.
Plastic
Plastic is a versatile material that can be used in a wide range of applications: furniture, household utensils, tools, vehicles, packages, etc. Its processing consumes less energy than similar materials and can be recycled easily and many times. Currently, several products have percentages of recycled material in their composition, even assisting in the disposal of disposable materials.
Wood
Wood is a renewable raw material used for producing tool handles, furniture, flatware, and general utensils. This raw material comes from reforestation areas and sustainable management projects.
Porcelain
It is produced from raw materials of mineral origin, from carefully selected suppliers. It is an inert, resistant material that is processed with technology aimed at quality and resource optimization. The virtues of porcelain are reflected in the quality, durability and beauty of the products.
Packaging
Packages are not developed solely to hold Tramontina products. The way consumers receive and dispose of these materials has a direct impact on the environment. For this reason, factories are continually studying and developing improvements to their packaging, through projects to reduce or eliminate plastic, reduce the quantity of materials, develop materials with recycled content and/or from renewable sources, single-material packaging and other initiatives.
