In Product Development, product related environmental aspects are considered as follows:

• Energy reduction during operation of our products is achieved by optimising the heat systems, applying heat insulation to surfaces as well as the application of efficient heat recycling systems and heat pumps.
• A reduction in water consumption is achieved by an appropriate design of cleaning and rinsing systems and the use of corresponding filter systems.
• The amount of chemicals required for the operation of our warewashers (detergents and rinse aids) is directly proportional to the volume of consumed water. Therefore a reduction in water consumption results in a lower consumption of chemicals.
• A reduction in water, power and chemicals consumption is achieved by intelligent washing systems. Misuse of the operator is eliminated by innovative technology and therefore reduces consumption to a necessary minimum.
• The packaging required for the transport of our products is made from recyclable materials.
• Consideration of environmental compatibility for the materials as used for the production of our products.
• Environmental aspects are considered during selection of our suppliers. Appropriate checklists are used or audits conducted.
