2.4 ENERZONE'S COMMITMENT TO YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The Enerzone team is committed to protecting the environment, so we do everything we can to
use only materials in our products that will have no lasting negative impact on the environment.
2.4.1 WHAT IS YOUR NEW WOOD FIRE MADE OF?
The body of your wood fire, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become
necessary many years in the future, almost the entire wood fire can be recycled into new
products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.
The paint coating on your wood fire is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Components) is
very low. VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing
process meets the latest air quality requirements with regards to VOC reduction or elimination.
The air tubes are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.
The C-Cast baffle is made of an aluminosilicate fibre material that is compressed with a binder to
form a rigid board. C-Cast can withstand temperatures above 1093 °c. It is not considered
hazardous waste. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
Firebrick is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, an earth derived product. It is
most commonly found in nature in the form of sand and clay. Disposal at a landfill is
recommended.
The door and glass gaskets are fibreglass which is spun from melted sand. Black gaskets have been
dipped into a solvent-free solution. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
The door glass is a 5 mm thick ceramic material that contains no toxic chemicals. It is basically
made of raw earth materials such as sand and quartz that are combined in such a way to form a
glass at high temperatures. Ceramic glass will not re-melt in the same way as normal glass, so it
should not be recycled with your regular household products. Disposal at a landfill is
recommended.
