Sustainable production...
The greenfield construction was designed and executed with three clear objectives: Zero Maintenance (trouble-free production), Zero Discharge (wastewater recycling) and Green Compliance (environmental sustainability). An intelligent building control system guarantees optimal manufacturing conditions and ensures a consistent energy supply. The subsidiary produces about one third of the electricity it needs on its own via photovoltaic systems on company-owned buildings and parking areas. As a further contribution to environmental and climate protection, investments were made in high-performance HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), resource-saving building materials, energy-efficient lighting and sustainable landscaping measures. The company premises are surrounded by a green belt with 1,800 native trees and plants. These ensure clean air and a dust-free environment. MAPAL India treats the waste water produced in the factory and uses it for landscape irrigation.
