Eco-conception

For the design of our machines, we rely heavily on our eco-conception tool: the sustainability radar. This tool enables us to integrate sustainable practices seamlessly into our manufacturing processes, ensuring minimal ecological footprint without compromising performance. The sustainability radar reviews the performance improvements across five axes, productivity, ease of use and safety, circularity, energy consumption at customer site as well as product carbon footprint. The sustainability radar gives R&D an effective way to understand the overall sustainability performance of our machines for our customers.

Energy Certificates

Learn about our Energy Certificates, a testament to our dedication to energy efficiency. Developed through our rigorous R&D and embedded within our Rethink approach to machine design, these certificates highlight substantial energy savings, such as our smart pump management and intelligent power generators. For example, when measured according to ISO 14955 standards, our Form P series achieve overall 43% efficiency gains when compared to our previous generation. Join us in shaping a greener future with innovative solutions that redefine industry standards.

Transport and packaging

Our In-Out-In logistics system exemplifies our commitments by reducing packaging wood use by 98%, from 750 kg to just 15 kg, and total packaging weight from 787 kg to 52 kg. This specialized system ensures efficient machine delivery, significantly minimizing our environmental footprint while enhancing operational efficiency across the value chain. The customer gets his machine ready for operation faster using In-Out-In.

Success story: Emba-Quick – cardboard with stretched film​

The concept​ consists of the part being inserted below the transparent stretched film. Once folded, the cardboard tenses the film over the part which results in blocking the part on the insert. The insert is placed in our standard cardboards.

Benefits include quicker packaging, eliminating the need for wasteful materials like scrapped paper, ensuring items are securely packed without excess waste. Our approach is fully sustainable and recyclable, enhancing the professional aspect of your products.
