We reveal all ingredients down to the last crumb. But we are almost an absolute exception among the manufacturers in the market. We have the composition checked and assessed at the Institute for Quality Management and Environmental Hygiene in Weikersheim<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span>

How do we feel as consumers if we don’t get any information about the ingredients in building materials, adhesives, paints, paints, mortars and plaster? <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How do we feel when eco-labels are supposed to suggest that the products are harmless, but that we are looking for information about the<\/span><\/span> Ingredients none<\/span><\/span><\/span> Find information?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How does it feel when there are 2-3 substances listed on buckets, sacks and packaging<\/span><\/span> l<\/span><\/span><\/span> According to the manufacturer, the product should not be included (“free from”), but the actual ingredients<\/span><\/span> input<\/span><\/span><\/span> completely missing on the packaging?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Healthy living has a lot to do with information about the nature and composition of the materials that are to be used. If we value the best indoor air quality and sustainability, we should know what exactly will be installed and brought in before buying or placing an order. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether for building, renovating, modernizing or refurbishing, building materials are always used. Conventional building materials are usually products that contain chemicals or consist mainly of chemicals.<\/p>\n

Shouldn’t we have a statutory right to information about which individual substances the materials are made up of?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tAt Kalkkind, we see it as urgently necessary that the industry must be legally obliged to disclose all ingredients.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Labels, with<\/span><\/span><\/span> which building materials and materials are awarded,<\/span><\/span> b<\/span><\/span><\/span>iet no equivalent substitute. These can be helpful and supportive in the purchase decision. <\/span><\/span>but <\/span><\/span><\/span>they in no way replace the full declaration. The labels are usually based on emission measurements under laboratory conditions with a constant air exchange rate and room conditions that have nothing to do with the conditions in actual practical use.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Without a 100% full declaration for a building material, we as consumers cannot really make conscious, comprehensive and informed decisions for or against the product.
We always need to have to trust. Trust that there are no ingredients in it that “outgas” after installation and thus significantly pollute the air in the room, i.e. the air we breathe. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If a simple emulsion paint or a sack of plaster often consists of several dozen chemicals, the consumer must have a right to know what he is bringing into his four walls. We are absolutely convinced of that!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is all the more important for people who suffer from allergies or other environmental diseases that they pay close attention to what they get into their four walls.<\/p>\n

Also, more and more consumers attach importance to a healthy one Indoor climate<\/a> because they want to stay healthy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
