Sustainability at LEO: Powering a Green Future Through Intelligent Pumping Solutions – INT&TEC

2025.03.28

Advancing Global Sustainability Goals Since the Paris Agreement

Since the landmark Paris Agreement in 2015, signed by nearly 200 countries, the global community has committed to a long-term transition toward net-zero carbon emissions. This transformation has accelerated the adoption of renewable energy, energy-efficient technologies, and low-carbon infrastructure across industries worldwide.

As a frontrunner in the energy transition, the European Union has played a pivotal role by introducing stringent regulatory frameworks such as EuP (Energy-using Products Directive) and ErP (Energy-related Products Directive). These regulations establish clear benchmarks for sustainable product design, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility, setting a global reference for manufacturers in the pump industry.

Decarbonization


Sustainability Embedded in Every Stage of LEO's Product Lifecycle

At LEO, sustainability is not an add-on, it is embedded into product development, engineering and manufacturing. We integrate environmental responsibility throughout the entire lifecycle of our pumping solutions, from material selection and system design to production, operation and long-term performance.

Our commitment reflects a broader vision: delivering smart fluid solutions that help customers reduce operational costs, lower energy consumption, and meet increasingly strict environmental standards - without compromising reliability or performance.

INT&TEC Series Glandless Circulators: Designed for Energy Efficiency and Decarbonization

The INT&TEC series glandless circulators are a strong testament to LEO's sustainability commitment. Engineered to meet and exceed EU energy efficiency requirements, these circulators support the global shift toward low-carbon buildings and sustainable HVAC systems.

Key sustainability advantages include:

· Ultra-high energy efficiency with EEI ≤ 0.20, enabling up to 70% energy savings compared with conventional circulators

· Compatibility with eco-friendly refrigerants R32 and R290, supporting next-generation low-carbon heating and cooling systems

· Modular design, reducing material usage, production waste, and associated carbon emissions

· Intelligent control systems that automatically optimize performance under varying load conditions

· Whisper-quiet operation, ensuring long-term comfort, efficiency, and system stability in modern buildings
