BLS products are made of regenerated material from selected initial scraps.
We have to think about the future of our planet in order to keep breathing clean air. The circular economy, as a model of production and consumption, aims to extend the life cycle of products, trying
to generate additional value by reusing materials and products that would have ended their life cycle.
The reduction of product-life-related CO2 is the first step on a path towards sustainability for BLS, which has always been involved in respiratory protection.
One of our priorities is also the optimisation of products, materials and resources through the use of recycled material, minimising waste and scrap. We are currently working to develop new solutions
for innovative management of the raw materials used in the production of disposable PPE.
'BLS Circular Eco System' project comes to life in the university lecture halls of the Politecnico di Milano. The design cues, indeed, come from a master's thesis in Integrated Product Design with a focus
on the Circular Economy.
The thesis aims at the virtuous management of waste materials generated by BLS in order to achieve their revalorisation in its own or other supply chains. The challenge is, therefore, to optimise business processes and the resources employed by progressing towards product management from design to end-of-life.
Today, BLS is already working to reduce emissions related to scrap disposal and to feed production chains capable of converting scrap materials into secondary raw materials.
BLS's commitment to the development of a circular supply chain touches many aspects of the production process:
• use of regenerated compounds dedicated to in-house prototyping;
• processing of scrap for the production of compounds to be used for moulding rigid components in disposable masks;
• use of raw materials with a percentage of regenerated material;
• use of packaging and instructions with regenerated paper and cardboard.
Regione Lombardia has also believed in the company's project, awarding it as part of the 'Innovation of Circular Economy Chains in Lombardia 2021' tender.
Innovation and sustainability in all the company's choices: from the selection of suppliers, giving preference to those who use regenerated material in production, to logistics optimisation in serving European customers. In terms of transport emissions, in fact, the choice of suppliers in areas close to BLS's corporate reality represents the best compromise between emissions, distance travelled and delivery times, to the benefit of the environment and service.
We look forward to meeting you there!
From April 21st 2018, the new EU Regulation 2016/425 has been in force, replacing the previous Directive 89/686/EEC and establishing the requirements for the design and manufacture of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Focus | Serie BLS 600next: l'efficienza del design piatto a tre lembi La serie BLS 600next è stata progettata per assicurare un’ottima adattabilità per la maggior parte delle fisionomie del volto. I facciali filtranti BLS 600next possono essere utilizzati per proteggere le vie respiratorie dell’operatore da particelle solide e/o liquide non volatili fino a 12* […]
Which are the different types of facemasks and what are the differences? Alongside so-called surgical masks, there are also FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 masks, with and without valves. What are the differences between these three types of protective facemasks?Surgical masks are medical devices that are used to protect ourselves and others. In fact, they block the propagation of droplets emitted orally when coughing and sneezing, or simply speaking. Nevertheless, they do not guarantee the blocking of the virus dispersed in aerosols as they are not leak-proof on the user’s face and do not have a filtering function during inhalation.
