2.4 The SBI Commitment to You and the Environment

The SBI team are 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 Stove Made Of?

The body of your stove, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become

necessary many years in the future, almost the entire stove can be recycled into new

products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.

The paint coat on your stove 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.

Vermiculite is used for the baffle. Vermiculite is a mineral. Large commercial mines exist in

China, Russia, South Africa, and Brazil. Potassium silicate is used as binder to form a

rigid board. Vermiculite can withstand temperatures above 2,000 °F. It is not considered

hazardous waste. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.

Lightweight firebrick is made of pumice and cement. Pumice is in fact volcanic rock, a

naturally green product found in the Northwest United States. 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.
