Sustainability
The responsible use of our natural resources is an essential part of TEPLAST’s corporate philosophy, which is practiced in all areas of the company. We have included requirements relevant to us in our management system based on ISO 14001.
Recycling
We do not dispose of plastic waste generated during production due to offcuts or chips during machining, etc. They are 100% reprocessed and either regranulated and returned to the manufacturer or sent to other industries for further use.
Energy supply and photovoltaics
In our production, electricity is used almost exclusively as an energy source. 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 utility that stands for the sustainability and sustainable development of our region.
Waste heat
We also do not leave the process heat generated in the TEPLAST production process unused: Through a waste heat system, we divert the heat and use it to heat our company buildings.
Energy consulting
Energy consulting is not a chore for us, but an important support. We regularly have all areas of the company and processes put to the energy test by external experts. This is how we ensure that we are permanently energy-efficient on the road.
LED
We converted the entire lighting system at TEPLAST to energy-saving LED lamps at an early stage.
