Rais and the environment...

Consideration for nature and the climate has always been a high priority at RAIS, and we were among the first companies whose stoves were certified with the Nordic Eco-label.

Our newest wood burning stoves and inserts meet even stricter requirements, for efficiency and particulate emissions than those of the Nordic Ecolabel. RAIS stoves are recognised globally for being environmentally friendly.

We continue to focus on developing and optimising combustion, including collaborations with Aalborg University and the Danish Technological Institute. As a guiding force in the industry through the years, RAIS has repeatedly set new standards for the environmental requirements for modern wood-burning stoves.

We call them CO₂ neutral because the amount of CO₂ emitted when fired correctly is equal to the amount of CO₂ the tree would have emitted while decomposing in the forest.

The Nordic Ecolabel

Stoves from RAIS carry the Scandinavian eco-label, the Swan.

This means that the stoves are among the least environmentally

damaging products in the product line. The stoves meet high demands

through the entire cycle from raw material to waste. This is controlled by the authorities who issue the Swan label. Hereby it is ensured that:

- emission of particles < 4 [g/kg] for free-standing stoves

- emission of particles < 4 [g/kg] for inserts

- emission of hydrocarbons OGC < 120 mg/m3

- Efficiency rate is at least 75 %

However, RAIS has taken it further and have efficiency rates of up to 80%.

Environment-friendly firing

The excellent figures for heating value and particulate emissions require firing as prescribed, with dry, untreated wood, e.g. firewood from forestry, regardless of wood type. See more in the Responsible Wood Burning film. Follow its advice for the sake of the environment and your neighbours.
