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.
