pba - HAND SANITIZER COVER

pba HAND SANITIZER COVER COLLECTION AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK

Sustainability, inclusiveness, climate action force us to ask ourselves a question: is there an ethics of what we manufacture? An industrial design ethics? Before everyone started questioning the consequences of how things are done and therefore the impact of design on the world, it was implied that the moral responsibility of a product was solely on the end user. The epochal change is the shift of responsibility to designers and manufacturers. For pba such responsibility is the starting point for taking action: ethics even before use, and morality is part of how things are done. The responsibility of a product lies with whoever designs it and manufactures it.

DECLARE LABEL

The Declare Label is like a nutrition label for the building industry. It is a product transparency disclosure that lists the ingredients in products to help customers ensure healthier indoor living environments. It discloses where a product comes from, the materials it is made from, and its end-of-life pathway. We are proud to offer the Declare "Red List Free" Label for our Hand Sanitizer Cover Collection, available on the international living future institute platform.

PBA PRODUCTS CONTRIBUTE TO LEED CREDITS

The collection is made of 316L stainless steel with 25% post-consumer recycled content. The Hand Sanitizer Covers have been designed and produced to be fully disassembled, therefore 100% recyclable at the end of their useful life.
