Energy – homemade
Up to 75% of our electrical energy comes from our own renewable sources such as hydropower, solar energy and combined heat and power generation. We only purchase energy with a green electricity certificate.
Water- economical
Fresh water consumption is constantly being reduced. Thanks to a globally unique ozone purification system, the water is treated without chemicals and reused up to eight times before it reaches the sewage treatment plant.
Raw materials – sustainable
Gmund paper is made from plant fibres, a renewable raw material that can be recycled up to seven times, creating raw material for new paper. We are also conducting successful research into alternative fibres for paper production.
Recycling – consistently
Consistent pre-consumer recycling of our colour-sorted production waste turns waste into a valuable raw material in a purely physical process, which can be reused here on site.
