Cost effective environmental protection is combining ecological and economical needsAs a manufacturing company we of course use energy, water and raw materials. But it comes naturally to us to use them carefully and efficiently.  |
Reduction of toxic wasteWithin one year, E-T-A reduced toxic waste by 37%, in spite of increased productivity. |
Energy saving an everyday task
One third of the electrical energy needed by E-T-A is generated by our own standalone power station. This is not only more cost-effective than drawing power from national the grid but is also ecologically beneficial. One third of our heating needs are also satisfied in-house. Some 3% of heat energy is saved by controlled operation of our ventilation system. Utilisation of waste heat and an added waste heat exchanger have reduced our energy demand by a further 10%. |
Reducing water usageWater is a precious commodity and what is more, it is expensive. Close inspection of our consumption has proved worthwhile. Thanks to recycling and using energy efficiently, we have significantly reduced our water usage in the past two years. |
Compressed air saves money.Compressed air is one of the most expensive types of energy in industrial production. Every year leakages cause damage to the economy worth billions of Euros. Latest-state-of-the-art technology combined with products from our own programme help us to monitor our entire compressed air system for leakages or faults. We also monitor the idle capacity costs and have been able to reduce them significantly. |
Separation and collection of waste brings its returnsIndustrial waste is an environmentally sensitive issue. Not only is waste produced in large volumes but it must also be disposed of carefully and professionally, which in itself can be very expensive. Costs can be reduced considerably through the separation of waste for subsequent sale and re-use. Thanks to the commitment of all employees, we practise effective environmental protection and achieve cost-savings throughout the organisation.
