EDELSTAHL SCHNEIDTECHNIK RHEIN-RUHR

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Responsible action at EST Edelstahl-Schneidtechnik GmbH

As a modern company in sheet metal processing, we are aware of our responsibility for the environment and society. That is why sustainable action is firmly anchored in the corporate philosophy of EST Edelstahl-Schneidtechnik GmbH. We rely on innovative technologies and efficient processes to conserve resources and minimize our ecological footprint.

OUR SPECIFIC MEASURES AT A GLANCE:

ENERGY AND RESOURCES:

  • 100% green electricity:
    Our sheet cutting production runs entirely on electricity from renewable sources.
  • Solar thermal and photovoltaic systems:
    We use solar energy for hot water and electricity generation.
  • Energy-efficient technologies:
    Use of fiber laser technology, LED lighting in production halls, extraction technology with frequency converters, replacement of electric motors with higher energy efficiency classes.
  • Switch to energy-efficient processes: Wherever technically possible and economically reasonable, we replace plasma technology with energy-saving bandsaws.
  • Optimization of compressed air generation: Centralized control and regular leakage tests minimize energy consumption.
  • Rainwater use:
    We use rainwater for underwater plasma cutting.


MATERIAL AND RECYCLING:

  • Regional production:
    Customer parts are manufactured exclusively in Germany. This ensures short transport routes and reduces CO2 emissions.
  • Preference for European suppliers:
    We source most of our raw materials from European production.
  • Careful recycling:
    Any scrap or slag produced is carefully sorted and recycled by type. Packaging materials are reused.
  • Reconditioning of cutting sand:
    Used materials are not simply disposed of but processed and reused.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT:

  • Wastewater treatment:
    Wastewater from waterjet cutting is filtered before being discharged into the sewage system. Regular checks ensure water quality.
  • Exhaust air purification:
    Exhaust air is filtered before being released into the environment.
  • Environmentally friendly mobility:
    Gradual conversion of the vehicle fleet to electric vehicles.
  • Regular audits:
    External energy consultants support us in the continuous optimization of our processes.

For us, sustainability is not a trend but daily practice.

We are continuously working on improving our environmental balance and developing new sustainable solutions.
