Environmental Protection

There is hardly a branch of production which can work without secondary raw materials. Its use saves energy and raw materials, thus sustainably contributing towards environmental protection. In our country the lack of natural resources makes secondary raw materials more and more important.

Secondary raw materials only cost a fraction of the manufacturing costs using ore or crude oil. For example aluminium recycling only requires about a tenth of the energy as the extraction from bauxite. In steel production scrap has been used for many years as a raw material. Today the proportion is has already reached around 50%.

Consequently it is clear that recycling is ecological as well as being increasingly economical.

But it is not just our recycled products, but also our everyday environmentally compatible actions which make us an important cornerstone in the area of environmental protection and saving of resources:

• Reducing air and noise emissions and immissions
• Optimal drainage protection to prevent leakage into the ground
• or ground water
• Minimal use of raw materials and natural resources
• Reduction of CO2 emissions through regular adjustments or
• replacement in the vehicle fleet and machines to correspond
• to the latest technological standards
