A Greener Future with Sustainable Solutions

At Keynius, sustainability means taking full responsibility for the systems we design, build, and deliver. We focus on long product lifecycles, modular design, controlled production, and transparent decision-making across hardware, software, and service.

We prioritize durability, repairability, and systems that can evolve over time. For us, sustainability is about reducing waste and building solutions that remain valuable, functional, and supportable for many years.

Keynius products are designed to last and to adapt. Our locker systems and smart locks are modular, making every component easily replaceable or can be upgraded without discarding the entire system.

Software updates extend functional life, while standardized components reduce the need for full replacements. This approach lowers material consumption, minimizes waste, and reduces the environmental impact associated with frequent product turnover.

We use materials selected for durability, safety, and long-term performance, including steel, HPL, wood-based panels, plastics, and electronic components.

Steel is used extensively due to its strength, long lifespan, and high recyclability. HPL and wood panels are chosen for their robustness and suitability for high-use environments. Plastics and electronics are used where necessary for functionality, safety, and precision.

Yes. Keynius applies lifecycle thinking when developing and evaluating its products, including material sourcing, manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life.

Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) have been conducted for multiple locker product lines to better understand environmental impact across the full lifespan. These assessments help identify where improvements are most effective and where limitations currently exist.

We use these insights internally to guide design and material decisions and to continuously improve future product generations.

Keynius products are designed and engineered in-house, with production in both Europe and Asia. Manufacturing across regions allows us to operate closer to our customers, reduce transport distances, and limit energy use related to shipping and delivery.

This approach also strengthens local supply chains and improves responsiveness and quality control. Looking ahead, Keynius aims to establish production capabilities in North America to further reduce logistics impact and better support regional markets.

Keynius smart locking systems are designed for low and predictable energy consumption. Hardware components are optimized for efficiency, with minimal standby power usage during normal operation.

Software enables remote management, diagnostics, and updates, reducing the need for on-site service visits and unnecessary energy use. Where applicable, systems can operate in offline or low-power modes without compromising security or functionality.

Keynius products are designed to be disassembled into their main material streams. Steel components are highly recyclable, and electronic components can be processed through established e-waste channels.

Some materials, such as HPL and certain plastics, have limited recycling options. Extending product lifespan through modular design and upgrades remains the most effective way to reduce overall environmental impact.

Keynius operates under a formal Code of Conduct that defines expectations for ethical behavior, compliance, and responsibility across our organization and partner network.

The Code of Conduct applies to employees, suppliers, and partners and covers areas such as labor practices, safety, integrity, and environmental responsibility.
