The packaging identified in Section 1 is declared to be in conformity with the applicable requirements of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), specifically:

‍

Article 5 — Substances of concern

Escea electric fireplace packaging does not contain any substances of concern. For details, refer to technical data and certifications for component parts in attached technical file.

‍

Article 6 — Design for recycling / recyclability

It is not yet possible to determine the grade as criteria are due only in 2028. Within the bounds of known information, there are no layers, coatings or additives that will prove detrimental to the recyclability or reusability of the product packaging. A table of packaging components is included in Section 7 of this document.

‍

Article 7 — Minimum recycled content

Currently, plastic bags used in Escea electric fireplace packaging do not contain recycled material.

‍

Article 9/10 — Packaging minimisation (weight, volume, empty space)

Escea electric fireplace packaging has been designed to protect the appliance during transport and handling using the minimum material required. Pallets have been sized specifically for each size of fireplace, wooden parts have been reduced to top and bottom only, and a simple plastic bag is used for environmental protection. A steel panel is used to complete the open side of the fireplace during transport and handling in order to provide protection for internal components as well as providing structural support when stacked in a warehouse.

‍

Article 11 / Article 29 — Reusability and reuse targets

There is currently no reuse system in place for Escea electric fireplace packaging.

‍

Article 12 — Labelling

Not yet applicable.

‍

Article 24 — Empty space ratio (transport / grouped / e-commerce packaging)

A method for calculating 50% empty space has yet to be established. Despite this, the packaging has been designed to minimize volume and weight. An interim calculation is located in the Technical Documentation associated with this Declaration.
