Glazed titanium steel bathroom manufacturer Bette has celebrated a milestone of producing 100,000 products made from ‘green’ CO₂-neutral steel.

Managing director of Better Thilo Pahl commented: “We are celebrating an important milestone on our path to greater sustainability: each of these 100,000 bathroom products represent our commitment to a greener future and sustainable interior design,”

By using green steel, the company, based in Delbrück, Germany reduced its CO₂ emissions by10% per cent in 2021.

In 2022, the reduction was almost 40%, which corresponds to around 8,000 tonnes of CO₂.

Bette also wants to support sustainable steel production in Germany and its steel suppliers, switching from fossil to regenerative blast furnaces.

Although this will come at a higher cost – around three times more expensive – there will be no extra cost to Bette customers.

Steel becomes ‘green’ through suppliers continuously investing in measures to reduce their CO₂ emissions.

Currently, subject to minimum quantities, Bette is able to offer selected products made of CO₂  neutral steel but in the future, there will be ranges made exclusively from ‘green’ steel.

By the end of 2024, Bette’s goal wants to manufacture half of its products from green steel.

Thilo Pahl commented: “We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we know that our work does not end here.

“Our commitment to sustainability is a long-term process and we will continue to innovate, research and look for ways to do our part to create environmentally friendly bathrooms.”
