Sustainability and the environment are highly valued

Reduce

Our products contribute to reducing energy consumption as they effectively minimise temperature changes without the use of electricity or other energy.

We have significantly reduced our CO2 footprint by replacing traditional packaging materials such as cardboard boxes with stretch wrap, which has a lower CO2 footprint. This solution has also made it possible to fit even more products on the pallets during transport. Altogether, CO2 emissions associated with packaging have become 22 times less.

At Combitherm, our experienced employees always strive to develop and produce the best thermal solutions. We work as a team, where everyone actively contributes to optimising processes and reducing waste in production. A good idea can emerge both in production and in product development, which a specific example shows: One of our employees suggested changing the roll width of our foil purchase from 150 cm to 140 cm. This has not only reduced our use of foil by about 20,000 m² but also minimised the amount of off-cuts that cannot be reused.

Recycle

The development of sustainability is an integrated part of our DNA, and we continuously work to deliver optimal and flawless quality products to our customers. We regularly adjust our processes and material use based on the principle of "many small streams" to ensure that we achieve an increasingly sustainable production.

We sort the residual materials from production and recycle as many as possible. For example, we send the insulation back to the manufacturer, who reuses it in their production of new insulation material for us.

Another example is the metallised foil we use in our insulating thermal covers. We have reduced the amount of residual foil by purchasing narrower roll widths and cutting the foil in a way that utilises the material most efficiently. The residual foil can be transformed into a high-strength plastic product, which can be incorporated into other plastic-based products.

This is part of our work to integrate circular principles into our production. Additionally, we work closely with our customers and suppliers to ensure that our products can have a new life after use, so we can jointly contribute to a more sustainable future.
