Sustainability

As an internationally active corporate group, we are aware of our responsibility for the environment and our fellow human beings. Not only do we have the highest demands on the quality of our products, but also on their production. That is why we are constantly striving to optimize our production process in terms of environmental, energy and safety aspects. This practice begins with our workers, which is why we actively involve our production employees in the implementation of our sustainability programs.

Our processes and products are continuously reviewed for their impact on the environment and adapted to the latest requirements and up to date methods. The focal points are reduction of CO₂ emissions as well as the conscientious use of raw materials and the maximum avoidance of waste. For this reason, we have collected our transport packaging and commercial sales packaging from INTERSEROH, recycle it and thus fulfil all the requirements of the German Packaging Act.

Our customers can also do their part: our products are 100% recyclable and can thus also be recycled sensibly after use. The company PreZero Kunststoffrecycling GmbH & Co. KG, based in 39448 Börde-Hakel (Westeregeln), is a specialised company that collects, processes and recycles raw plastic waste.
