Sustainability

Our sustainability initiatives

For us, responsibility begins with products that bring lasting enjoyment. That is why, at Bette, we combine timeless design and precision craftsmanship with a mindful approach to materials, energy and resources.


At our site in Delbrück, we are constantly refining our processes: we reuse recyclable materials, minimise material waste and invest in more efficient production.

Whether we’re investing in steel produced with lower emissions, inventing a waste cover made from recycled material, or ensuring our lorries always travel with fully loaded cargo areas.

*We source steel from a supplier that has a proven track record of investing in lower-emission manufacturing processes and is certified to this effect. The certificates provided attest to these investments. They do not mean that the steel is produced without any emissions.

Steel in a state of change – and we’re right in the thick of it

Steel production is changing. Instead of producing pig iron in blast furnaces, new production routes are emerging that generate significantly fewer process emissions. Here, we explain what’s behind this, why we’re embracing this approach at an early stage, and what it means for your bathroom fittings.

More on the steel transformation

Our bathroom fittings are synonymous with lasting quality.

Durable products need replacing less often. That is why, for our bathroom fittings, we rely on glazed titanium steel, robust craftsmanship and a long service life.

From waste covers to overspray: we recycle with good ideas.

We are constantly working to reduce our material consumption. And are breaking new ground in the process. See for yourself!

Our resource and energy management? Simply clever!

Why does a Bette truck delivering bath products drive back loaded with crates of mineral water? Because we also rely on efficient logistics.

EPD Environmental Product Declaration

Sustainable decisions require reliable data. That is why we provide an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for baths, shower trays, shower surfaces and washbasins made from glazed titanium steel. This makes the environmental impact of our bathroom products transparent and helps architects, planners and building owners to assess the environmental performance of construction projects.
