Reduce, Reuse & Recycle
It is in our foremost interest to reduce the amount of waste whenever and wherever possible. We collect and sort all waste and recycle it accordingly. We go further in saving energy, and have installed heat recovery units in the manufacturing site for displays. All production-related effluents are filtered and neutralized before being discharged in a proper way.
Beneq products have a proven long lifetime, and as such reduce the amount of waste created.

Beneq products contain waste materials that can be hazardous if not disposed of properly.
