Technology & Environment
We live sustainability.
| | Our products are 100% recyclable. Working according to the requirements of REACH is taken for granted. In December 2011 we got the FSC certificate for our products. Please click here to open the certificate. |
| We are working with sustainable resources - We achieve a major contribution towards the Kyoto treaty through the use of our own 3 hydropower plants.
- With the help of a completely closed water circulation system, all the water is reused and nothing is drained into the river.
|
| - Our raw material is waste paper from Austria with short supply route, thereby reducing our carbon footprint.
- The reject (waste substances) from the waste papper preparation is recycled and used for further thermal use.
- Through an innovative drying technology we have reduced our natural gas consumption significantly during the last few years. Therefore we got the award for "Klimabündnis-Betrieb" (climate alliance).

| Our in-house use of quality circles and the continous training of our employees adds to our sustainability. We are proud of the fact that 15% of our workforce are trainees. |
