𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 💡| Since April 9, the EU has lowered the maximum exposure limits for lead. This directly impacts construction activities like grinding, sanding, demolition, and handling lead materials.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆? There is no safe exposure threshold for lead. Risks must be addressed at the source, including seriously considering safer alternatives.

A clear signal to the market: 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥.

✔️ Made from recycled PVB, Leadax lead alternatives offer a future-proof, strategic solution for forward-thinking and sustainable building projects.

🌍 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆! | Today, April 22, we join millions of people around the world in celebrating Earth Day; a global initiative that has been driving environmental awareness and action since 1970.

This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” highlights the role we all play in shaping a more sustainable future.

At Leadax, this is exactly what we work on every day.

👉 We turn recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) into high-quality, circular waterproofing materials for the construction industry. PVB is a residual material sourced from safety glass recycling that would otherwise end up in landfill. This is circularity in action.

Earth Day is a reminder that real impact starts with the choices we make; in materials, in processes, and in mindset.

🇪🇺 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 As of April 9, stricter rules for working with lead apply across the European Union. This means that the maximum exposure to lead (dust) for workers is significantly reduced.

➡️ In the construction sector, this is particularly relevant for dust-generating activities such as grinding, sanding, demolition, removal of lead sheets, as well as soldering with lead.

➡️ Since there is no safe exposure threshold for lead, exposure must be kept as low as possible. A clear signal to the market: 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥.

➡️The occupational hygiene strategy is legally embedded as a hierarchy of controls, requiring risks to be addressed at the source with demonstrable consideration of safer alternatives.

✔️ Leadax lead alternatives are developed with sustainability, circularity, and safety at their core, closely aligning with the shift toward circular construction and stricter occupational safety standards.

📌 As a result, they are increasingly seen as a future-proof, strategic solution for forward-thinking and sustainable building projects.

🌍 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 | Today we celebrate Global Recycling Day, a worldwide initiative held every year on March 18 to put recycling in the spotlight. It was launched in 2018 by the Global Recycling Foundation with one clear mission; to encourage the world to see waste as a resource and not just as a problem.

👉 At Leadax, this is exactly what we contribute to every day! We turn recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) into high-quality waterproofing materials for the construction industry. PVB is a residual material derived from the recycling process of safety glass that would otherwise end up as waste in landfills.

We actively support a circular economy and help reduce plastic waste. ♻️
