Reducing our climate impact – step by step
Today, all the electricity needs at our headquarters are met solely by green energy and our own photovoltaics system – this represents an important step towards reducing our direct emissions. Other measures are targeting energy use in production, the mobility of staff and transportation. To reduce emissions even further, air freight and business trips are to be reduced by ten per cent by 2030 through measures including optimised planning and transport pooling. In addition, the company’s vehicle fleet is gradually being converted to electric-powered systems.
Focusing on systems efficiency
Machines from SML have always been highly efficient in terms of energy and resources. The continuous development of our technologies reduces the carbon footprint of plastics production and lowers emissions for our customers.
Circular economy through technology
Innovative systems and process technology are essential for a functioning circular economy. Our systems enable the processing of up to 100% post-consumer recycled material. SML takes a leading role in producing machines for manufacturing easily recyclable mono-material films.
Sustainability that reaches our customers
SML’s sustainability approach is reflected in the high quality of our systems, their retrofitting capability and our extensive service offering. Some SML systems have been in regular use for more than 30 years – a clear advantage for the environment and cost effectiveness.
