Achieve zero waste
Our target for 2030 is to achieve zero waste
We strive to improve material efficiency, bearing in mind our vision of zero waste during production. In 2021, 98% of waste from our production processes was recycled or used as an energy source for heat generation.
“I’m surprised by the non-harmonised waste standards in the EU that will call for us to consider VELUX standards targeting a higher level of waste management than required by local authorities.” Lotte Kaster, Vice President, Global QHSE & E
Waste handling methods 2021

Promote a circular economy
Four main focus areas have been defined for our work with circularity.
1. Minimise loss of nature 2. Product lifetime through services 3. Close the loop for product end of life 4. Achieve zero waste
“We’ve taken a holistic product perspective to circularity that covers the design phase through use to end of life. This has given us a much better understanding of where we are today and I’m really pleased that we’ve already been able to integrate circularity into some of our product development tools.” Marie Stenild, Lead Product Manager, AMT Sustainability Integration
