PROCESSING 1000 KG OF MINERAL WOOL COSTS 400 EUROS EVERUSE YIELDS 100 EUROS

Many sustainable fake stories are told about the value of products and raw materials. Often exciting fairy tales about residual value and deposits.

Many of the linear products that we purchase every day contain toxic substances or harmful fibres. Volatile organic substances such as formaldehyde, ink or harmful fibres are incorporated in products that are used in our living environment. These products are unhealthy and certainly not suitable for reuse. The processing of these products therefore costs our society a lot of money.

PRODUCTS MADE FROM HARMFUL SUBSTANCES NEVER BECOME VALUABLE OR CIRCULAR

What most people do not think about when they buy a product is what it is made of, where it comes from and what happens to it when it is no longer used. This often leads to unpleasant surprises at the end of its useful life in the form of unexpectedly high costs. The producers do not want to return the products because that would make them bankrupt. Because of the harmful substances in the products, the processing costs are very high. That is why the customer pays for them. It's actually very strange to treat customers like that! With EverUse, this is now a thing of the past. The customer does not receive an invoice at the end of the usage period, but instead receives the value back into his bank account.

THE TIME OF VALUABLE WASTE HAS COME

There are a lot of sustainable fake stories being told about the value of products and raw materials. Usually, these are exciting fairy tales about residual value and deposits. All of them are surcharges on top of cost prices to cover the waste and transport costs of linear products in which harmful substances are stored. The customer pays the waste costs of the product without even knowing it.  

EVERUSE IS THE RAW MATERIAL BANK OF VALUABLE FIBRES AND CO2

If you go to a bank to lease gold, they will look at you funny. You can buy gold but you cannot lease it. If you want to redeem it again, you can look at the market for what it's worth and you'll be reimbursed for that value. That's how it works at EverUse too! Our raw materials and products are worth money, and this has created a value stream where previously there were only costs. From now on, customers can also benefit from the increased value of a healthy raw material that is stored in their own living environment. You return EverUse and receive the raw material value.

CO2 IS STORED IN THE BUILDING AND REDUCES CO2 FOOTPRINT

Made from paper and cardboard waste (cellulose=CO2), the CO2 is stored in the building. EverUse has a negative CO2 footprint of -1 kg CO2/kg product and thus contributes significantly to the reduction and storage of CO2.

HEALTHY RAW MATERIALS AS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY AND INVESTMENT

At EverUse, the high quality of the raw materials is part of a circular business model. In this model, the customer uses the product and takes good care of it. If the customer can no longer or no longer wants to use the product, it returns the raw materials to the EverUse Raw Materials Bank in Sneek. Here it is weighed and the value of the raw materials is returned to her. If the value has increased over time, she also benefits from this. Just like an investment.  

WASTE = VALUTA

As a manufacturer, we take responsibility because we can actually reuse the raw material in our factory in the Netherlands. We ensure that the EverUse raw material finds its way back into another building in the form of flakes, mats or panels. We don't throw anything away anymore and raw materials are never lost again. WASTE does NOT exist from now on waste is currency!

WASTE AS AN INVESTMENT IN A HEALTHY AND RESPONSIBLE FUTURE

EverUse INSIDE is EverUse's collaborative programme for the development of circular value chains. The EverUse technology makes existing insulation solutions sustainable in terms of health, reusability, CO2 reduction and storage.

In addition, all the other positive properties of the material transform standard linear insulation solutions into top quality insulation products. Best-in-class sound insulation and absorption, thermal properties, moisture control and phase shift make EverUse a sound and responsible choice when it comes to professional circular insulation.
