Airthings’ circular principles are a key driver for the development of our new products. By guiding us towards the best decision from the beginning of the design phase, By focusing on responsible materials and manufacturing; daring to reduce energy and carbon footprint & loving the product experience and end of life. Throughout 2021, we have been working on establishing the framework for product design.The Airthings Circular Principles are key tenets that we consider and discuss in the beginning, to release to market, and throughout the product experience of the design phases of the products. This helps us to ensure that new and old products and/or services are assessed, therefore providing the best overall value with the lowest environmental and social impact. The diagnosis sets measurable thresholds to find the points where we can improve the circularity of our products. This is a self-reflective process that fosters a conscious discussion about choices and tradeoffs. We are currently doing this evaluation with our new product category. This has led to establishing an internal circular index for our new product to evaluate them in each phase, having a quantitative analysis of where we have improved and where we need improvement. This is an evaluation tool, therefore there are principles we are scoring higher than others, and the tendency is to increase points in each of the principles as a learning and growing process. Therefore we Empower the world to breathe better by: Focus on responsible materials and manufacturing Ensuring fair working conditions by having Suppliers follow the Code of Conduct >10 years durable products and conflict-free materials Keep waste and hazardous chemicals out of the product life cycle Dare to reduce energy and carbon footprint Giving value to effective and renewable energy Minimize the size/volume/weight of the PCB, and product housing plastics and packaging Design for minimum energy consumption Minimize the transportation environmental burden Love the product experience and end of life Create such an awesome experience that the clients will use it for 10 years Inclusive products for our customer segment A simple dismantle experience (for properly maintain, repair, reuse, refurbish, recycle)Anti-corruption
