Environment
We strive to continuously minimise our impact on the environment and climate and are actively promoting sustainability throughout our production and supply chains. In our decision making, we consider environmental aspects proactively.
Our key environmental principles are:
- We only produce durable products.
- We minimise the use of resources.
- We only use recyclable materials.
- We increase the amount of recycled and renewable raw materials in our products.
Orthex does not make single-use products. The products we manufacture are of the highest quality and are meant to last for years or even decades. Even after a product has worn out, it can be recycled, and the material reused for other purposes.
All our factories are ISO 14001 and 9001 certified for environmental and quality management. Our focus areas within responsible production and consumption are reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the share of recycled and renewable raw materials in our production, and promoting the circular economy of plastics. Relying on these and other measures, we are aiming towards carbon neutrality in our production by 2030.
We have calculated the carbon footprint of our operations and value chain, and most of our greenhouse gas emissions originate from purchased goods and services, such as raw material extraction. Increasing the share of renewable and recycled raw materials in our production will have the biggest impact on reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. We have simulated our road map towards carbon neutrality, taking into account Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Orthex’s own operations are resource efficient and have minimal impact on the environment, including local biodiversity. In resource efficiency our focus areas are improving energy efficiency and decreasing production waste.
