Our focus:
Durable products
Qlima is expanding its heat pump portfolio considerably. Heat pumps, such as split-unit air conditioners, are versatile climate systems. In summer, they transfer heat from inside to outside to cool your home. This process can also be reversed, allowing the system to extract heat from the outside air to warm your home.
By transferring heat instead of generating it directly, heat pumps can provide several kilowatt-hours of heat for every kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed. This makes them an energy-efficient alternative to conventional electric resistance heating, helping you manage your energy consumption while enjoying comfortable indoor temperatures.
Reduction of plastic
In recent years, we have made significant progress in reducing the amount of plastic used in our packaging. And this has not gone unnoticed. In 2021, we received the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label for redesigning our fuel packaging.
Our redesigned 20-litre jerrycans use 60% less plastic by weight compared to the HDPE cans we used 20 years ago. Since 2008, continuous packaging improvements have resulted in an estimated reduction of 15 million kilograms of plastic use.
The jerrycans are also stackable, allowing more containers to be transported per shipment. Thanks to these packaging improvements, we estimate that approximately 600 fewer truckloads are needed each year.
Longer-lasting products
Our experienced after-sales team is committed to helping customers get the most out of their Qlima products. By providing technical support and helping resolve problems by email or telephone, we aim to make repairs and maintenance easier and avoid unnecessary product replacements.
With the introduction of online shops for spare parts and accessories, we have further improved our after-sales service. This makes it easier to maintain and repair your Qlima products, helping you enjoy them for longer.
Next generation fuels
Qlima is exploring ways to increase the use of renewable raw materials in its heating fuels. As part of this development, we have introduced Qlima Kristal Spark and Qlima Kristal Bright, two fuels from our Next Generation Fuels range.
Through an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance system, 25% renewable raw materials are allocated to Qlima Kristal Spark and 51% to Qlima Bright. This system allows renewable and fossil raw materials to be processed together, while the renewable share is tracked and allocated according to certified rules.
These percentages refer to the allocated share of renewable raw materials and do not necessarily represent the exact physical composition of each individual fuel container.
Our ambition is to further increase the allocated share of renewable raw materials in our fuel range in the coming years. This is one of the steps we are taking to reduce our reliance on fossil-based raw materials while continuing to offer the heating performance and comfort you expect from Qlima.
