Glem Gas, the Italian company of cooking appliances, follows a path of sustainable development. Its industrial policy is strongly oriented towards environmental protection, via intensive research and experimentation aimed at continual improvements in appearance and performance that embraces the entire product life cycle, and thus also the eco-sustainable management of its components.
The forecasts for the future of our planet are becoming more and more alarming – said Glem Gas -: the greenhouse effect and the consequent climate changes may soon change the scenarios to the detriment of our ecosystem and thus our wellbeing. Like others, the household appliance industry is being called upon to review its production cycles and offer an active response to the need to increase responsibility for the environment. We must manage finite energy resources intelligently and make optimal use of the energy available from free, renewable sources, in a process that combines technological innovations with a great sense of social responsibility.
Glem Gas appliances are therefore manufactured with technologies that enable the recovery of their components – the company explained -, implementing a principle of reuse in line with a meticulous environmental strategy. The entire process is shifting towards environmentally aware design of products, built to last over time but also to be sustainable, using as many recyclable materials as possible and delivering more efficient, higher-performing solutions but with less energy consumption. Unused appliances and equipment enter a specific treatment process to recover most of their component materials and thus reduce environmental impact».
In addition, Glem Gas undertook a scrapping procedure on a lot of 112 tonnes of waste material. Each type of equipment was broken down into its various components and then recycled with impressive percentage results on the entire volume: 97% of raw materials reused 1% recovered in the form of energy. We like to think – the added from the company – that every cooker is is part of a shared project, avoiding waste and adopting reuse and self-recycling, aiding us on our way to a better future with optimal safeguards for the natural world

Glen Dimplex UK Ltd in Portadown has been served with notice of strike action after 96 percent of workforce voted for action in a strike ballot over Living Wage concerns.
The first three-day strike action is due to commence with workforce pickets forming at 6am Wednesday, November 10 until Friday, November 12 at 3pm.
Unite the union has warned of the likelihood that initial strike action will escalate to all out strike if management do not provide a Living Wage to its workforce.
It’s now more than seven months since workers submitted their Living Wage pay claim and after much delay the latest offer is for a below-inflation 3.25 percent increase this year with a 4 percent increase the next.
Unite say this below-inflation pay offer means workers will actually suffer a further, real-terms pay cut. It falls far short of the 11 percent workforce pay claim.
Glen Dimplex is a hugely successful company, commanding more than 70 percent of the home heating market in the UK.
The company is ramping up investment and introducing new lines to take advantage of the surge in demand for its highly energy efficient products.

Electrolux warned it may struggle to meet demand
Electrolux warned it may struggle to meet demand through the rest of the year and into 2022 due to global supply-chain challenges, after its profit slumped in the third quarter as component shortages held back production.
Europe’s biggest home appliances maker said it still sees demand normalising above pre-pandemic levels but flagged limited availability of some product categories through the year, with regional variances.
“We continue to have a tight collaboration with suppliers to mitigate global supply shortages, but we estimate that the fourth quarter will be even more challenging than the third quarter,” the rival to Whirlpool said in a statement.
“Although we anticipate sequential improvements in 2022, we expect challenging conditions to remain in meeting continued strong demand.”
