Going Green – Recycling at Sigerist
For the sake of the environment, we use recycling wherever possible. Because a sustainable and careful use of resources is important to us. As a trader and producer of technical parts, we receive several deliveries of raw materials and products every day. Normally, the packaging is made of cardboard. In many places, the worn-out cardboard is simply disposed of after delivery. Not so at Sigerist GmbH. Because packaging waste has been a big issue for quite some time.
Recycling the cardboard packaging
At Sigerist GmbH, the used cardboard packaging has not yet been discarded after delivery. The cardboard boxes are processed with a machine. This creates practical cushioning mats or padded filling material. This can be used to pad other consignments from our company or to fill boxes that are a little too large before dispatch. In this way, the products in our parcels are optimally protected.
Positive factors for Sigerist GmbH
In addition to the positive factors for the environment, the use of the packaging padding machine also brings other advantages: Stuffing material for packaging always had to be purchased in the past. Since we now produce a large part of our stuffing material ourselves from a waste product, costs have been reduced. The styrofoam chips used in the past are therefore used less and less.
