Sustainability is the future
For the Fietz Group, economic sustainability is a basic prerequisite for securing the long-term economic success and continued competitiveness.
However, the focus of a sustainably acting company should not be on maximum profit, but on long-term existence.
Nevertheless, sustainable companies must generate enough profits to be able to invest them, for example, in more environmentally friendly plants or modern machinery and thus use as few resources as possible than nature can generate in the same period of time.
For this reason, the Fietz Group has invested in some forward-looking projects.
Projects of the Fietz Group
Installation of a photovoltaic system
on the production and storage roofs as well as the administration buildings in Burscheid and Radevormwald. The energy demand is covered up to half during a sunny summer day. In the last half year 170 tons of CO2 were saved
New heating system with heat recovery
This is supported by new, efficient air compressors with heat recovery and contribute to a saving in gas consumption of around 60%
Rainwater utilization
Rainwater is collected and used for production processes instead of fresh water
Recycling
18% of our PTFE material consists of regenerated material, 19% of the PTFE scrap are collected are returned for recycling
New "green" warehouse
Fietz is currently building a new CO2-neutral warehouse at the injection moulding facility in Radevormwald. With an area of over 1.000 m² with low-temperature, underfloor heating, heat recovery and photovoltaics. The warehouse will be completely climate neutral and will also produce a surplus of electricity.
