Enger­gy manage­ment

We have been working suc­cessful­ly for over 10 years with our ener­gy manage­ment sys­tem to redu­ce our ener­gy con­sump­ti­on.

Sin­ce its intro­duc­tion, we have suc­cee­ded in redu­cing ener­gy con­sump­ti­on at our sites per kilo­gram of cove­ring yarn by more than 40 per­cent.

We are also redu­cing our CO2 foot­print by instal­ling a Pho­to­vol­taic sys­tem on the roof of the new buil­ding. In a next step, the other roof are­as will also be equip­ped with PV sys­tems. Due to the high base load of our pro­duc­tion, the elec­tri­ci­ty gene­ra­ted from rene­wa­ble sources can be used enti­re­ly in-house.

was­te reduc­tion / recy­ling

Every kilo­gram of was­te was­tes raw mate­ri­als and ener­gy. This is why we have been meti­cu­lous­ly track­ing our was­te figu­res for years. By con­ti­nuous­ly impro­ving our pro­ces­ses, we have been able to con­stant­ly redu­ce was­te over the years.

We try to recy­cle any was­te that ari­ses. We have curr­ent­ly star­ted a pro­ject with a part­ner to pro­du­ce high-qua­li­ty new yarn from our win­ding was­te.

Due to the impro­ved recy­cla­bi­li­ty, we have lar­ge­ly repla­ced pla­s­tic tubes with card­board tubes. In coope­ra­ti­on with a work­shop for the dis­ab­led, we have crea­ted a cycle for the reu­se of card­board spools with lar­ger quan­ti­ties.

We actively sup­port our cus­to­mers in repla­cing cru­de oil-based mate­ri­als with bio-based or natu­ral mate­ri­als.

Twis­ted yarns usual­ly com­bi­ne yarns with very dif­fe­rent pro­per­ties, making mecha­ni­cal or che­mi­cal sepa­ra­ti­on and the­r­e­fo­re recy­cling dif­fi­cult or impos­si­ble.

We the­r­e­fo­re actively sup­port cus­to­mers in the sel­ec­tion and use of non-toxic degra­da­ble yarns and elas­t­a­nes.

pro­mi­se of sus­taina­bi­li­ty

We are con­stant­ly loo­king for envi­ron­men­tal­ly fri­end­ly inno­va­tions and resour­ce-saving alter­na­ti­ves.
