The MINIMA outdoor lifestyle model project represented for AKU a form of responsible commitment from the design point of view, with the aim of reducing the consumption of raw materials and limiting the environmental effects of production.

It was therefore not just a consumption efficiency strategy and therefore an economic saving, but a project aimed at creating a benefit for the environment. In fact, in addition to efforts to reduce the environmental impact as much as possible, an initiative to compensate for CO2 emissions was undertaken which led us to exceed the zeroing threshold.

Based on the calculations already made on Bellamont Plus for EPD certification, we have estimated the emissions relating to the entire life cycle of the entire production of the Minima model to be 50 tons. To this we added 20% to cover any imperfections in the calculation and a further 50% to have a positive effect on the environment by compensating for 90 tons of CO2 through reforestation initiatives supported by the United Nations for climate neutrality “.
