Constantia Teich takes a further step towards a more sustainable future
Our Constantia Teich plant takes another stride towards sustainability and environmental protection by commissioning a state-of-the-art photovoltaic (PV) system. With this cutting-edge PV system now operational on our company's rooftop, the production of flexible packaging materials becomes even more sustainable and eco-friendly.
The photovoltaic system is equipped with the latest technology to maximize efficiency and performance. The system will generate around 350,000 kWh of clean energy per year, corresponding to a reduction in the CO2 footprint of 90 tons. In a purely mathematical context, this could cover the electricity needs of over 100 households.
"The PV system is part of an overall energy concept. We are pursuing several approaches in order to be prepared for the future."
Other alternative energy sources are currently being examined. In October, a study on substituting natural gas with biogas or other biogenic raw materials was commissioned and a further PV system is planned for the roofs of the rolling mill.
“As a manufacturer of flexible packaging materials, we recognize our responsibility to the environment. Utilizing clean energy from our factory roofs aligns perfectly with our strategy of resource-efficient and sustainable production," states Alexander Wimmer, Head of Technology and Corporate Sustainability at Constantia Teich. “Our declared goal is to lead the industry and set an example in terms of sustainability”, added Wolfgang Kitzler.
