Environmental impact

Wherever possible, we choose fully recycled materials as raw and packaging materials. With every investment and policy choice, we include the environmental impact of our production and processes in final decisions. In 2018, for example, we chose a new brand of injection moulding machines that use 20-25% less energy, thereby significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. Internal transport is only electric and the energy required for this is purchased green as much as possible.

Fewer packaging materials

For deliveries and products, we are constantly looking to optimise packaging and reduce packaging plastics. In 2020, we invested in a new packaging line that packs pallets with 25% less packaging material. Thus, in 2021, we saved over 22,000 kilos of packaging material for packing our buckets, specie tubs and bins. That same year, we invested in a special banding machine so that our EPDM rolls no longer need to be wrapped in plastic. Reducing printing and far-reaching digitalisation of our communications reduce the consumption of paper & cardboard.
