NATURally - HEXIS Goes Green

HEXIS has created NATURally, a range of products that aim to be more environment friendly. These films are PVC-free and do not use any chlorine, solvents, plasticisers or heavy metals. The new range will be presented to the public at the FESPA show in Munich 22 to 26 June.


The films in the NATURally range carry a M1F1 fire rating according to the NF F 16-101 standard and are particularly suitable for use in public places where regulations with regard to fire hazards are much more stringent. Products with a M1F1 fire rating are fire-retardant and do not release any toxic smoke.


Because of the absence of solvents HEXIS does not need to use the oxidiser during the manufacturing process. This has the benefits of reduced energy consumption for the drying of the films, reduced risk of fire on the production line, no risk of atmospheric pollution through the release of VOC and maximised safety for manufacturing staff.

NATURally NEXISThe films in the NATURally range are free of PVC and free of plasticisers and for this reason there is no risk of contamination with the environment. Also they do not contain any heavy metals such as chromium or lead.

Go Green While Travelling

Thinking of traveling or go on vacation? Always remember, look for hotels that encourage guests to use less water or energy. Hang up your towels to dry so you can use them again. Use the sheets more than a night or two.

Before leaving your hotel room, turn off the aircon and other electrical gadgets.

Watering The Plants

Water your plants with leftover drinking water or from washing the vegetables or from washing the clothes.

Save a container to collect the miscellaneous water and see how fast it adds up.

Open the Curtains

Rather than using electricity - open curtains and let the sun shine into your home during the day. The sun is the brightest and least expensive source of light available.

Tips in the Kitchen

Buy cotton cloths for the kitchen clean-up instead of disposable kitchen roll.

Nokia Recycles, Gives Back to Nature

Nokia recently inaugurated the rehabilitated Phase 3 Watch Tower at the La Mesa Watershed and Eco Park, which will be used by forest rangers to protect the one-hectare land that Nokia adopted against illegal loggers and prohibited settlers.

The lush ecosystem is a 2,000 hectare forest found in the heart of Quezon City and is home to hundreds of tree species that are indigenous to the Philippines.

Since last year, Nokia has pioneered efforts to give back to the environment through its Nokia We:Recycle campaign where e-waste such as chargers, batteries, old phones and phone accessories of any brand were collected at different areas around the metropolis.

The campaign aims to increase awareness and encourage people to recycle their phones in the safe and proper way so they dont end up in landfills. For every kilo collected, Nokia made a donation for the rehabilitation of the La Mesa Watershed.

Tips: Repair And Restore

The best environmental choice is to repair, restore or adapt a product you already have. You may need professional help but it could still be cheaper than something new - half of electrical goods left at dumps work or require only very basic repairs.
