Product related environmental aspects are considered as following:
- Reduced energy consumption for the operation can be achieved by optimization of the incorporated heating systems, heat insulation and the use of heat recovery respectively heat pumps.
- Reduced water consumption can be achieved by adequate design of wash and rinse systems.
- The required amount of chemicals (detergent and rinse agent) is directly proportional to the water consumption. Reduced water consumption results consequently in a reduced usage of chemicals.
- The amount of waste water is practically identical to the water consumption.
- The transport packing is made from recyclable materials.
- The materials used for the construction of products shall be environmental sustainable and recyclable respectively re-usable.
- Selection of suppliers depends also on their environmental behaviour. This is ensured per check list inquiry and by performing audits.
