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.

ADA

The freestanding models Design 1, Design 2 and Design 3 were designed to comply with the ADA and similar accessibility requirements. However, final interpretation of accessibility compliance is the responsibility of the specifier and should be determined in relation to specific project conditions and local codes.

EPD ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION

The Collection has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an ISO Environmental Declaration based on ISO 14025 and ISO 21930 standards. An EPD transparently reports the environmental performance of products or services from a lifecycle perspective. The preparation of an EPD includes different stages, from acquiring raw materials to the end of life of the final product. EPDs are based on international standards and consider the entire value chain. Additionally, EPD is a third-party verified document. We are proud to offer the EPD for our products, available on the EPD Library.

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.
