Pillar 1: Carbon Neutrality

Challenge: Escalating Carbon Footprint

Environmental impact due to carbon emissions is a major concern. Industries contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, leading to climate change and environmental degradation.

Cattani Response: Cattani’s Carbon Neutral Commitment

At Cattani Australia, we are dedicated to achieving Net Zero emissions, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility. Partnering with Trace, a leading sustainability platform, we measure, manage, and offset our carbon footprint to ensure a sustainable future.

Our Climate Action Efforts:

• Certification: Achieving Carbon Neutral certification covers our energy, freight, suppliers, travel, and waste operations.
• Carbon Profiles: Detailed measurement revealed 1173.3 tCO2 emissions last year, guiding us in understanding our impact.
• Compensation of Emissions: We offset 100% of our emissions, equivalent to planting 6,692 trees.
• Decarbonisation Plan: Implementing sustainable supplier policies and eco-friendly travel practices to reduce our carbon footprint.
• Project Funding: Supporting impactful projects like Cool Fire Traditional Land Management in Australia, Coorong Lakes Biodiversity Conservation in Australia, Efficient Cookstoves in Nepal, and Katingan Peatlands Conservation in Indonesia.

Pillar 2: Amalgam Retention

Challenge: Mercury Contamination

Mercury from dental amalgam poses significant risks to both the environment and public health. Effective retention and separation are crucial to prevent contamination.

Cattani Response: Innovative Hydrocyclone Technology

Cattani’s Hydrocyclone system efficiently separates and retains amalgam particles using fluid pressure from the suction system. This system, with a 98% retention rate exceeding ISO 11143 standards, operates without additional power, noise, or space requirements.

Benefits:

• No Additional Power Consumption: Utilises existing suction system pressure.
• Silent Operation: Noise-free functioning ensures a peaceful work environment.
• Compact Design: Fits within the footprint of the SMART suction system.
• Easy Installation: Retrofit options available, installed by trained technicians in less than an hour.

Pillar 3: Energy Efficiency

Challenge: High Energy Consumption

Traditional suction motors are inefficient, consuming high levels of energy regardless of demand, leading to increased operational costs and environmental strain.

Cattani Response: SMART Inverter Technology

Cattani’s SMART suction motors, powered by advanced inverter technology, optimise performance and reduce energy consumption by adjusting to real-time requirements.

Key Features:

• Power Saving Efficiency: Significant energy savings without compromising performance.
• Precision Performance Control: Inverter technology allows real-time adjustments to meet demand.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous system management and performance optimisation.
• System Management: Multiple inputs for voltage, current, temperature, and fluid flow monitoring.

Pillar 4: Recycling and Raw Materials
