Our Engagement for the Environment

For KraussMaffei, a healthy environment is the basis for sustainable economic activity. This applies particularly to us as a leading player in the plastics industry. We therefore minimize and continuously improve our environmental impact in all areas. Our vision of a sustainable environment guides our daily activities.

 

Our commitment to the environment is reflected in the continuous optimization of our products. Through ongoing improvements, we have been able to achieve a cost reduction in many products and applications while maintaining or improving product quality and reducing material usage. Of course, we pass these savings on to our customers. In addition, these adjustments lead to lighter machines and thus to the conservation of resources during transport.
 
The manufacture of large industrial plants naturally requires a high input of resources and energy. Our aim is to constantly reduce these efforts and make them as environmentally friendly as possible. At our own locations, we measure emissions, energy and resource consumption, as well as waste and water consumption, using clear key performance indicators.

From the sea into the tunnel

Old fishing nets and plastic ropes: These are valuable raw materials for the Norwegian company Oldroyd who uses them to manufacture products for tunnel construction on three CX 160-750. They are more durable than steel and at the same time protect the environment. With these advantages, it does not matter if from time to time they give off a faint fishy smell.

The better wood

Natural, sustainable and, above all, safe to use - that's what many parents want for their children's products. Wood is very popular. However, it is better to use wood waste that the industry produces anyway than to keep cutting down trees. Wissner GmbH turns it into Re-Wood and injects its math-oriented teaching aids and games on CX machines from KraussMaffei.
