Sustainability.

The responsible use of resources and the sustainable production of high-quality speciality papers are particularly important to us. Because of this our environmental policy exceeded the current national and EU rules for some time now. To achieve sustainable energy production we use highly efficient combined heat and power generation in our modern gas power station. 

We take sustainability even further: a large part of our global transportation has been switched to rail or sea, and we also take advantage of intermodal transport. Our paper mills in Bielefeld works with the "system of electronic recording of waste". We are increasing our recycling rates drastically, while reducing our waste.  It's that simple.

Without water there can be no paper production. Our objective is to have the lowest possible fresh water consumption by channelling water into a closed circuit and reusing it wherever possible. We continue to invest in waste water purification at our site. The water that leaves our Bielefeld mill is now cleaner than the river water we use in production.
