Systematic design for material recovery and circular economy integration
Engineering specifications increasingly require sustainable solutions supported by verified data. Many manufacturers still rely on unvalidated claims, leaving consultants without the documentation needed for responsible selection.
NOVENCO® removes this uncertainty with a systematic environmental engineering approach. We apply design-for-recycling principles from early concept to production, optimising material use and reducing waste at every step.
The UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 focuses on responsible consumption and production. Our manufacturing approach directly supports this objective by eliminating take-make-waste practices that drive landfill volumes and associated emissions.
Independent analysis from Stena Recycling A/S verified that ZerAx® fans achieve 98% recyclability. This confirmation shows that nearly all materials can be recovered and reintroduced into productive use.
Sustainable manufacturing delivers measurable outcomes. These include precision specifications that reduce production waste, long-lasting engineering that extends product life, enhanced sorting for end-of-life recovery, and environmental requirements that strengthen our supply chain.

Higher efficiency than conventional fan technologySustainable specification confidence
Certification schemes such as LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB require transparent and verified environmental data. Unvalidated claims create risk for engineering consultants who rely on documentation for compliance.
NOVENCO® was the first fan manufacturer worldwide to achieve an Environmental Product Declaration. This milestone provides consultants with verified data for direct comparison across product categories.
EPD documentation removes uncertainty through mandatory third-party validation. Standardised ISO 14025 and EN 15804 methodologies deliver comparable lifecycle metrics from raw material extraction to end-of-life recovery.
These verified credentials support organisations working toward carbon reduction while meeting operational performance needs. Engineering teams gain the confidence that environmental claims are audited and technically robust.
Environmental Product Declarations for ZerAx® and NovAx™ fans are publicly accessible through the EPD Denmark database for full specification transparency.

Operations
Quantifiable environmental impact from real-world performance
Energy efficiency claims must be proven in operation. NOVENCO® documents real performance across thousands of installations, providing measured impact rather than projections.
ZerAx® fans deliver about 20% higher efficiency than conventional technology. This advantage reduces energy use and cuts CO2 emissions in applications such as car parks, tunnels, commercial buildings, and industrial sites.
Current monthly performance shows immediate value. Installed ZerAx® systems eliminate 30,800 tonnes of CO2 and avoid the equivalent of 71,200 barrels of oil. This corresponds to 6,200 car journeys around the equator.
Long-term performance highlights significant impact. Since 2009, ZerAx® installations have reduced emissions by 578,100 tonnes of CO2 and saved energy equal to 1,338,300 barrels of oil, with a transportation impact equating to 116,600 equatorial rounds.
These metrics support organisations working toward Scope 2 reductions. Documented results strengthen sustainability reporting without compromising compliance for ventilation, smoke control, and air handling.

End of life
Engineered for material recovery and reintegration
Sustainable design includes both operation and end-of-life. ZerAx® fans are engineered for disassembly and clean material separation, ensuring environmental performance across the full lifecycle.
Stena Recycling A/S verified a 98% recyclability rate. This is achieved through intentional material selection, precise engineering for efficient sorting, and durable construction that extends service life.
Material composition focuses on recyclable components supported by mature recycling infrastructure. The 98% rating confirms suitability for end-of-life processing. Design choices avoid permanent fastening methods that hinder efficient separation.
This approach supports circular economy goals by returning materials to productive use with significantly lower embodied energy. Instead of contributing to landfill emissions, components re-enter manufacturing cycles.
Third-party verification supports BREEAM Waste credits and LEED Materials and Resources points. Optimised manufacturing, improved waste protocols, and strengthened supplier requirements demonstrate a complete lifecycle commitment.
Precision engineering extends operational lifetime. When recovery eventually becomes necessary, materials can be reintegrated into supply chains, closing the circular loop.
