More sustainable products and innovations
Life cycle assessments, also known as LCAs, consider the life cycle of a product or process from raw material extraction to production, all the way through to waste treatment and recycling. “From cradle to grave”, each step is analyzed in detail.
In-house recycling
At ETA Tovarna d.o.o. in Cerkno, Slovenia (E.G.O. Slovenia), a project team looked for ways to reduce scrap metal from the stamping shop or to recycle it in a more climate-friendly way.
15,000 sqm
Photovoltaic modules are particularly suitable as a form of renewable energy. A PV system has now been installed on the approximately 15,000 m² roof of the E.G.O. plant in Taicang, China. A tree was also planted to symbolize the green energy.
Emissions
The characteristic value concerns emissions into the air, which are released into the atmosphere from a source.
Thousands of liters of water saved
The Spanish site of the E.G.O.-Group, E.G.O. Appliance Controls, S.L.U. (EAC), is located in Lliçà de Vall (near Barcelona) in a region severely affected by water scarcity. Employees have therefore been working hard to reduce their water consumption since 2020—with great success.
Every drop counts
Without water, there is no life; it is the most valuable resource our planet has to offer. Reason enough to systematically investigate the importance of water for the companies of the BLANC & FISCHER Family Holding and, on the other hand, the importance of these companies for water.
Compressed air offers potential savings
A best-practice example that shows there are potential savings everywhere—including in the production of compressed air. At the production site E.G.O. Elektro-Komponente d.o.o. in Zagreb, Croatia (E.G.O. Croatia), temperature limiters, switches, and regulators are produced in many different versions and in large quantities.
