Sustainability

as a trailblazer for the future - from responsibility to innovation.

For us at HESS plastics, sustainability is more than just a trend - it is a central element of our corporate philosophy. As a responsible technology partner in plastic injection moulding technology, we take on the challenge of developing innovative solutions that protect the environment and at the same time meet the highest quality standards. Our goal: to shape a sustainable future - for our customers, our employees and our planet.

Elements of our sustainability strategy

Use of recycled and sustainable materials
We rely on recycling and sustainable raw materials. Production waste and plastic scraps are reintegrated into the manufacturing process. We are also working with our suppliers to utilise bio-based and biodegradable plastics in order to offer environmentally friendly alternatives.
Energy efficiency in production
Our state-of-the-art machines are energy-efficient and help us to reduce energy consumption. We also rely on renewable energies, such as solar panels, to make our production climate-friendly. With optimised production processes, we not only minimise energy consumption, but also the use of materials.
Promoting the circular economy
Our products are designed to be recycled in the event of rejects. Through intelligent product design, we simplify the return to the recycling loop.
Reduction of the CO2 footprint
We have set ourselves the goal of making our production CO2-neutral. By investing in climate protection projects and optimising our supply chains, we are actively reducing our CO2 emissions. Efficient use of resources and environmentally friendly logistics are crucial for us.

Sustainable supply chains
Sustainability begins with the selection of our partners. We work closely with suppliers who are also committed to sustainable practices and meet the highest environmental standards. Transparency along the entire supply chain is very important to us.
Social responsibility and employee engagement
Our employees are the key to our success. We therefore promote a working environment characterised by respect, equal opportunities and fair conditions. At the same time, we offer training and further education opportunities to promote environmentally conscious behaviour in all areas.
Innovations for a sustainable future
By continuously investing in development, we are driving forward innovations that make our production more sustainable and efficient. Together with our partners, we develop new technologies and materials that meet the requirements of tomorrow.
Sustainable packaging and durable products
Our products are not only efficient to manufacture, but also durable and resource-saving. We also optimise our packaging solutions to avoid unnecessary materials and thus minimise our ecological footprint.
