Protección del medio ambiente en Meusburger

A few examples of our commitment to sustainability

CO² savings in production

By switching off many machines on non-working days, around 2.58 MWh can be saved. This corresponds to a CO² saving of 580,000 kg per year and is equal to the CO² emissions of 100 long-haul flights from Düsseldorf to Sydney covering a distance of 16,580 km.

Heat recovery

We do not waste any energy, but use the waste heat produced by our machinery and equipment for heating our plant.

Cooling energy optimisation system

We invest in highly efficient cooling systems on the rooftop of our production halls. This helps reduce the CO² emissions and creates a comfortable climate for our staff.

Separation of recyclables and waste

At Meusburger, all waste is meticulously separated into recyclables and residual waste, thus enabling environmentally sound recycling.

Filtering pollutants

To a large extent, our production process is pollutant-free. Any pollutants that do arise when processing steel are absorbed by means of suitable filtration devices.

Company bikes

Staff travelling to work by train may use these bicycles to cover the distance between the train station and the Meusburger plant.

Charging station for electric bikes

Employees who ride their electric bikes to work make a great contribution to the environment and can charge their bikes for free at one of our two of charging stations. Our chargers are up to two times faster than standard home chargers so our employees can stay on the go.

Biking contest

Every year, Meusburger takes part in the biking contest organised by the state of Vorarlberg. It gives our staff the chance to improve their health and at the same time protect the environment by using their bikes as much as possible. Further information

Staff transportation

41 minibuses are provided for our staff for travelling to work every day. Meusburger takes part in the klima:aktiv mobil project making an active contribution to environment and climate protection.

Product-specific

Corrosion protection

No corrosion protection is used on our stored raw material. With this, we avoid polluting air, water and soil in the immediate vicinity of our company grounds.

Oil mist

All our machinery and equipment is equipped with suction and filtration devices in order to keep the air clean.

Cutting fluids

With our comprehensive approach to optimising our centralised systems we have been able to greatly reduce our cutting fluid consumption over the last eight years. Our measurements show we have reduced our yearly cutting fluid waste by 82% and, at the same time, the amount of stabilizers we used decreased by 97%
