Packaging plays a key role for our products in two ways: First, it protects our products from external influences and ensures that they arrive at the customer’s site undamaged, and second, packaging ensures that the environment is not adversely affected in any way. Packaging must be safe over the entire life cycle of the products: during transport and storage, use and disposal.
For this reason, when we develop packaging, we proceed just as carefully as when we develop our products. One example is the Safebreak bottle, a glass bottle coated with plastic, which prevents chemicals from escaping if the glass breaks.
Besides the safety of packaging, we also always make sure to use resources efficiently so that we can provide optimum packaging solutions for our products, our customers and the environment. For this purpose, we identify optimization potentials and implement measures for resource protection. These include, for example, reducing the packaging size and using eco-friendly materials. We supply some of our products in reusable packaging, such as stainless steel drums or barrels. For our water purification systems, we have partly replaced PE foam by carton packaging. We continue to use recycled filling material for transport packaging. We cooperate with customers and suppliers to develop and use recyclable packaging.
