In addition, we are committed to complying with applicable law and other relevant requirements in all our business activities, as well as reducing or avoiding pollution, hazards, and risks in environmental protection.
Recycling concept

Our commitment to the GKV Code of Conduct
Representing good values together
The Supply Chain Due Diligence Act is becoming increasingly important, as we have noticed not least due to our customers' growing interest in this topic. We have decided to find a uniform solution for the company and have adopted the code of conduct of the GKV (Gesamtverband Kunststoffverarbeitende Industrie e. V. - General Association of the Plastics Processing Industry). The code of conduct defines the values of our company that guide our actions, as well as the principles that underlie our decision-making.
Our waste management
How we handle our waste
Every manufacturing process can generate “waste.” In milling, for example, it is unavoidable due to the nature of the manufacturing process. Thanks to our rigorous quality assurance, workpieces that do not meet our quality standards are also classified as “waste.”
One of the many advantages of foam is its reusability. To this end, we collect and separate our waste. We shred it ourselves so that it can be transported to plastics processors in a resource-saving manner. In the best case scenario, this allows it to be returned to the cycle.
Foam recycling helps to conserve resources, as it means that less new foam has to be produced from fossil fuels.
