Using a stove in a smoke control area

Ecodesign

Ecodesign is a directive implemented by the European Union to reduce the CO2 emissions and thus improve the air quality across the European borders. This directive sets out requirements for the energy efficiency and particle emission of products.

All Aduro wood burning stoves, pellet stoves, and hybrid stoves comply with the Ecodesign requirements.

Aduro and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

Aduro is a supporter of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which strive for a more sustainable development for humans and our planet. We contribute to several of the Sustainable Development Goals, and we especially focus on the following goals:

Goal 3: Good health and well-being
We develop wood burning stoves, hybrid stoves and pellet stoves that emit less smoke and reduce smoke nuisance significantly. Moreover, our stoves contribute to a healthy indoor climate. The stoves renew the air in the room and contribute to preventing mould because they make sure that the temperature does not get too low or the room too humid.

Goals 7 and Goal 13: Clean energy & Climate action
By heating your home through burning of wood, you avoid using heat sources based on fossil resources, such as coal, oil or gas. It is estimated that every 1 kg of burned firewood in a modern wood burning stove on average reduces the emission of between 0.5 (district heating) and 1 kg CO2 (electric heating and oil-fired boiler). On average, every new wood burning stove that is put into use saves approx. 3 tons of CO2 per year. 

At Aduro, we strive to make it easy to do it right and thereby also get a better combustion with a minimal CO2 and particle emission. We do that through innovations such as Aduro-tronic, Aduro Smart Response, Aduro Hybrid and Aduro DraftOptimizer, among other things.

Furthermore, Aduro plants trees and invests in sustainable forestry. Read more here. 

Goal 12: Responsible production
We use recycled materials such as steel and cast iron, and the plastic funnel for Aduro Hybrid stoves and the insert for pellets for the Aduro Proline Ø45 baskets are, for instance, produced in recycled plastic from Danish households. Thereby, we contribute to a circular economy in which resources are exploited as much as possible without waste. Meanwhile, the majority of the materials from our wood burning stoves can also be recycled, for instance the cast iron and the glass.
