2.6.1 What is your new fireplace made of?
The body of your fireplace, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary
many years in the future, almost the entire fireplace can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating
the need to mine new materials.
The
paint coating on your fireplace is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Compounds) is very low.
VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing process meets the latest
air quality requirements regarding VOC reduction or elimination.
The
air tubes are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.
The C-Cast
baffle
is made of an aluminosilicate fibre material that is compressed with a binder to form a
rigid board. C-Cast can withstand temperatures above 2,000 °F. It is not considered hazardous waste.
Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
Moulded refractory bricks
are mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, a product processed
from a mined mineral. It is most commonly found in nature in the form of sand and clay. Disposal at a
landfill is recommended. The steel mesh contained in some refractory bricks can be recycled.
The door and glass
gaskets
are fibreglass which is spun from melted sand. Black gaskets have been dipped
into a solvent-free solution. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
The door
glass
is a 4 mm thick ceramic material that contains no toxic chemicals. It is made of natural raw
materials such as sand and quartz that are combined in such a way to form a high temperature glass.
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled in the same way as normal glass, so it should not be disposed of with your
regular household products. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
