Energy and resources efficiency

As part of the EMAS environmental management system, we record our energy and resource consumption as well as emissions. These key figures form the basis for defining measures and targets. A positive effect is the constant questioning and optimization of our production processes.

However, we provide a comprehensive range of multi-way products and -systems and show environmentally friendly alternatives to our custoumers.

An important step is the research and testing of bio-based raw materials for our dunnage pads. Here, we work closely with our suppliers as well as external partners in the field of research and development.

However, did you know that the recyclability of our PP and LDPE dunnage is 100%, unlike kraft paper dunnage? This is because the latter contain plastic inside (inliner, coating), so that a complex separation of the materials is necessary for recycling. But our dunnage can be disposed of in its entirety via the yellow bag and recycled as a raw material for high-quality products.

Society and Social Affairs

Beside a sustainable supply chain management, we advocate for both global and local social justice.

We have been working with Mainfränkische Werkstätten GmbH since 2008. In this way, we promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market. Because our BIG valves are assembled by the people working there.

Once a year, we also open our doors as part of the "Türöffner-Tag" (door-opening day) of the "Sendung mit der Maus" (show with the mouse) and face the critical questions of our children and grandchildren. We playfully explain the basic principles of load securement and offer a variety of stations on the topics of the environment, sustainability and quality.

We are particularly proud of the social business (B)Energy, which develops mobile biogas technology based on our airbags. We have been supporting the inventor and founder Katrin Pütz since 2011. The innovative system provides people in Africa, Asia and Latin America with access to clean cooking energy and income opportunities. Because with every biogas plant installed and every biogas backpack produced, we make an active contribution to improving living conditions and protecting the climate. You can find more information about (B)energy here.
