We want to use resources efficiently and avoid environmental damage in order to enable subsequent generations to have a future worth living. We are committed to the responsible use of resources, especially the raw material plastic, and using energy effectively. Right from product design, we take the effects on the environment during the entire product life cycle into account.

At the beginning of 2018, we established the PÖPPELMANN blue® initiative to bundle all company activities that promote a closed raw material cycle.

Our aim of using resources efficiently and effectively relates to all production factors. Our energy requirements for generating electricity and heat create emissions. We also depend on water and soil as natural resources and thus impact the environment in this way, too. Taking economic and technical aspects into account, we have long pursued the aim of achieving the best possible ecological compatibility of our work.

We have been monitoring and improving our environmental impact for over 20 years. Pöppelmann has voluntarily participated in the European Union's Environmental Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) since 1996. Through this, we have been able to develop ourselves steadily, and sustainably improve our environmental impact. We publish regular environmental statements to inform staff and the public about our environmental performance.

With regard to our energy requirements, our energy management system certified according to DIN EN ISO 50001 continuously exploits savings potential and thus increases the company’s energy efficiency. This happens in all energy-relevant areas, from innovative plant technology to energy-saving lighting and IT. Through the efficient use of energy, we aim to minimise our impact on the environment and make a decisive contribution to climate protection.
