Our photovoltaic system
Energy Power
Since mid-2022, we have installed a 5,000m² photovoltaic system on our roof areas. This system has a peak output of 750kw/h and can therefore cover 100% of our electricity requirements at the Volmarstein site on sunny days. The surplus energy is fed into the town's electricity grid. This investment of around half a million euros enables us to use solar energy sustainably and in the long term for our production machines.
This is the energy balance of our roofs since 01.01.2024
Saving for the environment
70% recycled plastic
With the OCEAN lock, BURG-WÄCHTER makes its high level of awareness for a sustainable future tangible in its product portfolio. The particularly durable OCEAN padlock not only has a casing made of recycled plastic - every part of this lock has been thought through holistically and sustainably.
Further measures
Climate-neutral catalog printing:
Sometimes you can't do without paper, but then we print in a climate-neutral way. In addition, no plastic is used for packaging and storage. The bvdm seal of approval confirms that catalog production is emission-free. The associated CO2 compensation flows into a forest project in Panama.
More movement, fewer emissions!
BURG-WÄCHTER supports all employees with the purchase of an e-bike. So that the car stays in the garage more often!
Why bees are so important
Thanks to their pollination service, bees play a key role in safeguarding biodiversity - and ultimately for our healthy table. BURG-WÄCHTER makes room for many busy bee colonies on its premises.
