E-mobility
- All internal transportation equipment is powerd already electric.
- All stackers and automatic shelving systems are equipped with energy recovery. All chargers for the industrial trucks have been converted to energy-saving HF technology.
Clean electricity
- Power supply through 1,200 kWp photovoltaic system on the roof
- Electricity supplier is 100% CO2 neutral certified
Sustainable building technology
- Umrüstung der kompletten Gebäude-Belüftung auf modernes System mit Energierückgewinnung
- Gebäude lt. modernsten Standards vollständig isoliert
- Energiesparende Bodenheizung anstatt Deckenstrahler in allen Lagerhallen
- Gesamte Beleuchtung ist LED ausgeführt
- Hallenbeleuchtung wird automatisch tageslichtabhängig geregelt, daher nochmalige Reduktion des Stromverbrauches
- Gas gefüllte Klimaanlage wurde durch Kaltwassersystem und Kühlsegel ersetzt
Waste management
- All waste is separated and sorted for recycling.
- Film and cardboard waste is pressed to reduce the number of transports.
- Printing waste (waste paper) is collected in separate containers, pressed on site and recycled (if the material permits).
Transportation packaging
- Disposable pallets made of pressboard have been replaced by regionally produced pallets made of recycled cardboard.
- Filling material for shipping cartons is exclusively recycled paper
- Pallet wrappers have been replaced with pre-stretch systems - resulting in a significant reduction in film requirements (up to 400% pre-stretch!) - the next step will be tests with alternative films
- Film thickness of the wrapping machines has been massively reduced - therefore significant reduction in film requirements - next step is tests with alternative films
- Bundling machines for packaging have been converted from plastic tapes to paper tapes
Label production
- For paints and varnishes, the plastic containers have been replaced by 200-liter steel drums
- Printing is 100% CO2 neutral
- Paper is FSC or PEFC certified where available.
- The roll size of the purchased paper has been increased (larger intake at the printing machine) - therefore more paper on a pallet - fewer transport routes, fewer losses (start of roll, end of roll).
- Packaging for printing consumables (ink containers etc.) is reused or recycled.
Workflow
- All new computers are energy-saving SFF PCs
- All internal processes (order picking, goods receipt, invoice filing) are paperless
- If permitted by the customer, invoices are sent electronically
- If permitted by the customer and the authorities, certificates are transmitted as PDF files
- Customs clearance for parcel shipments has been digitized and is completely paperless
Charging Infrastructure
- There are 8 AC charging points (22 kW) and 2 DC charging points (300kW) available on the site.
- You can charge publicly at 2 AC charging stations and the DC charging points with all common charging cards, via QR code or with a credit card.
- The electricity for the charging stations comes from our own PV system or is purchased from 100% hydroelectric power.
