#FINISHEDPRODUCTS
EXPANSION OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT PORTFOLIO IN THE SENSE
OF RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES
- We improve how we use resources, from start to finish.
- Our products are more environmentally friendly throughout their entire life cycle.
- Our products last longer.
- We contribute to the security of our society.
#Circulareconomy
EXPANSION OF THE RAW MATERIALS INPUT PORTFOLIO IN THE SENSE
OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
This is done in cooperation with customers, suppliers and industry representatives in order to influence future market expectations and requirements, including recycling rates and the expectations of lenders. The following points must be taken into account in product development and the associated production processes:
- Use more secondary raw materials.
- More in-house production and provision of secondary raw materials.
#CO2-emissions
REDUCTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS
- Reduction of production-related emissions: We minimize process emissions.
- Reducing emissions through energy consumption: We are switching to renewable energy sources such as PV, wind, biomass, heat recovery or waste heat utilization.
- Emission control in the supply chain: supplier management, optimization of transport, extension of useful life and service life, promotion of recycling and material cycles.
#Energy
OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY USE
Improving energy efficiency over the entire life cycle:
- Supply chain (taking into account the availability of resources)
- In-house production (progress in manufacturing processes)
- Logistics
- Utilization phase
- Recycling
Increasing energy independence through:
- Own generation and provision of energy
- Cooperation with external energy providers (preferably renewable and regional)
