Sustainability
The responsible use of natural resources is an essential part of TEPLAST’s corporate philosophy and is practiced in all areas of the company. We have included relevant requirements for us in our management system based on ISO 14001.
Recycling
We do not dispose of plastic waste that arises during production as a result of offcuts or chips from machining, etc. They are 100% recycled and either regranulated and returned to the manufacturer or sent to other industries for further use.
Energy supply and photovoltaics
Electricity is used almost exclusively as an energy source in our production. We produce green electricity with a 140 kW photovoltaic system on the roof of our corporate headquarters in Ahaus. In addition, we obtain our electricity from Stadtwerke Ahaus, a regional supplier that stands for sustainability and the future-oriented development of our region.
Waste heat
We also do not leave the process heat generated in the TEPLAST production process unused: We divert the heat through a waste heat system and use it to heat our company buildings.
Energy consulting
For us, energy consulting is not a chore, but an important source of support. We regularly have all areas of the company and processes put to the energy test by external experts. In this way, we ensure that we remain energy-efficient in the long term.
LED
We converted the entire lighting system at TEPLAST to energy-saving LED lamps at an early stage.
