Environment

The lasting use of our resources - water and energy - as well as the creation of environmental friendly products is essential for us.

We implemented technologies, which allow us an increased productivity and quality by multiple usage and recovery of substances, in order to spare resources and to reduce emission.

With the support and strength - of our own Power Thermal Coupling Plant - we are in the position to use energy multiple, for example to produce power and energy for drying processes as well as for heating our buildings. Furthermore the water we require for our manufacturing is also used multiple, before it is cleaned in our biological cleaning plant and returned again finally to the regular water cycle.

As a result of this philosophy and its realization, in 1999 we have been awarded as with the 1. category Environment Prize of Commerzbank/Impulse.

Commerzbank - Impulse Environment Award 1999

Thanks to our ecological orientation we have been awarded the first prize of the "Commerzbank Impulse" Environment Awards.

We received this award for the optimization of our waste water quality and the improvements to the press drainage process. All in all we saved with these measures approx. 870 TEuro (1,7 Million DM) per year and reduced our energy costs by 39%.
