Sales and Marketing

At AD, all of our products are made for a circular economy. The circular economy is a model of product and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In this way, the life cycle of products is extended.
We believe that as few raw materials should be used as possible. At the same time, the material should itself be recycled or made from eco-friendly resources. We constantly redesign our products in order to reduce wastage and materials used.
We strive to produce products with increased functionality- creating 1 product that replaces 3 others. It all comes down to one thing……Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Our overall goal is to to provide the right product, in the right application, for the right reason.
We don’t take things on face value, we review and consider all eco-claims on our terms to ensure what we are doing is right. When we make decisions based on good principles, and live by good values, we can improve the lives of others and the experiences of both our customers and employees.
It can be very easy to rationalize your decisions by saying, “Everyone does it”, you should reconsider. Unethical behavior is not only what you believe to be right and fair, it is a reflection of your personal brand and what people can expect from you personally and professionally.
We Understand any short term gain by making unethical or eco claim can in the longer term derstroy and damage our companies reputation.
“Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching – even when doing the wrong thing is legal.
We work to take the commodity out of the products we supply through innovation, R&D, customer collaboration and design rethinking.
Innovation, as a concept, refers to the process that an individual or organization undertakes to conceptualize brand new products, processes, and ideas, or to approach existing products, processes, and ideas in new ways.
In the world of business, there are many different types of innovation that a company might pursue. These are often tied directly to individual products, internal processes or workflows, or business models. Some companies even embrace all three in an effort to spearhead growth while adapting to the ever-changing market.
