ENVIRONMENT
Humans are highly dependent on an intact ecosystem. Ecological sustainability means using natural resources only to the extent that they can grow back, but measures to protect the climate and nature are also part of a broader effort to keep this planet habitable for future generations. Technical evaluation criteria help to determine more precisely what is actually useful for the environment.
FSC-CERTIFIED PACKAGING
For the ELTEN brand, ELTEN GmbH uses packaging that complies with the FSC Recycling Standard. FSC Recycling stands for products that contain only recycled material. The ELTEN brand outer packaging complies with the FSC Mix Standard. This means that FSC-certified or post-consumer recycled material is either used in a proportion of at least 70% or an at least equivalent amount is used in the production process to produce the labelled goods.
A PASSION FOR COLLECTING
Throughout the company, we pursue a consistent waste separation policy with the aim of recycling all recyclable materials as well as packaging.
OPTIMISATION OF GAS CONSUMPTION
We have significantly reduced our energy consumption through the targeted use of unavoidable internal waste heat. With the help of heat exchangers, we use the waste heat generated to heat the site and thus significantly reduce our CO2 emissions. Since the installation of the system in 2018, a significant proportion of the natural gas consumption at the main production site in Uedem has already been saved. In winter 2023, we will be heating the Molkereistraße site completely without gas.
