Rethink. Renew. Recycle.
Baumer hhs. Sustainable. Solution-oriented.
Sustainability is on everyone's lips. We are only at the beginning of an exciting journey. But what does sustainability actually mean in a company like Baumer hhs? Questions we have asked ourselves:
How can we be
Economically sustainable for our customers in the market?
Socially sustainable for our employees and our environment?
Ecologically sustainable for our company and the environment?
These questions have led us to the new Baumer hhs motto: Rethink. Renew. Recycle.
Our products stand for:
Efficient energy usage
Long service life
Repairability
Adhesive saving
Cost saving
Resource saving
Reduced carbon footprint
Our cooperation partners
4evergreen
4evergreen is a cross-industry alliance, that fosters synergies among companies promoting low-carbon and circular fibre-based packaging.
The organisation is driven by the insights and initiatives of its members through four technical working groups that focus on different aspects of fibre-based packaging..
We at Baumer hhs are proud to be part of this cooperation.
See here the Circularity by Design guideline Baumer hhs worked out with other industry specialists.
natureOffice
Together with the agency natureOffice, Baumer hhs is working on a forward-looking sustainability strategy. In the first step, the CO2 footprint is determined with the inclusion of all 3 scopes. This serves as a basis for defining reduction targets and anchoring a long-term climate protection strategy in the company.
Bio-based adhesive - Research project SUGRA
The transition from fossil to renewable carbon is crucial to reduce CO2 emissions and global warming. Bio-based adhesives offer a promising complement to conventional adhesives and could improve the environmental performance of paper packaging. However, many of these adhesives are still in the pilot phase, which makes industrial implementation difficult.
This is where the SUGRA (Sustainable Gluing with Renewable Adhesives) project comes in: It aims to improve the performance of starch adhesives for wider application in the packaging industry. For the first time, not only the adhesive itself but also the Baumer hhs application system is being optimally coordinated to ensure the best possible performance.
Environmentally aware and future-oriented - Our projects
Also internally, we are constantly asking ourselves how we can contribute to climate protection and sustainable production.
The following internal projects have already been implemented:
- Since June 22, Baumer hhs in Krefeld and in Berlin uses exclusively green electricity from renewable energy sources.
- Determination of the CO2 footprint of Baumer hhs as a basis for CO2 reduction projects
- Our GlueCalc-calculator calculates exactly how much glue and CO2 our customers can save
- Filling material for shipping packages made from renewable raw materials
- Replacing plastic with recyclate in production
- Plastic-free shipping notes and mailers
- Shuttle packaging
- Development projects on the subject of "sustainable packaging" and organic adhesives
