Sustainability

Sustainability at HAMCO

Sustainability plays an important role at HAMCO. We endeavour to reduce our ecological footprint and take responsibility for the environment - both now and in the future.

We are already implementing these measures in our day-to-day work:

Energy efficiency through PV system: There is a modern photovoltaic system on the roof of our production facility, which covers a large part of our energy requirements. In this way, we rely on renewable energies and significantly reduce our CO2 emissions.
Clean & safe: By dispensing with a saline heat transfer system in the production of PVC dipped parts and PVC coatings, we reduce environmental pollution, avoid nitrate residues that are hazardous to health and produce more sustainably - without compromising on quality and precision.
Reduction of waste: Our aim is to produce as little waste as possible. By optimising our production processes and the conscious use of materials, we ensure that waste is reduced to a minimum. Surplus materials from production are also ground up (regranulation) and reused.
Environmentally friendly materials: All the pastes and granulates we use are recyclable.
Green terrain: It is important to us that our company premises remain a place for nature. That is why we have deliberately refrained from sealing all surfaces and attach great importance to green areas that contribute to biodiversity.
Digitisation instead of paper: We consistently rely on digitalisation to minimise paper consumption. Documents are created and managed digitally, allowing us to conserve valuable resources and organise our processes more efficiently.
Reusable packaging solutions: We use reusable cardboard packaging for our products. This enables us to avoid unnecessary packaging waste and make a contribution to the circular economy.
Saving energy with smart lighting: We have installed motion detectors in our production halls, which ensure that the lighting is only activated when needed. This allows us to further reduce our energy consumption.

We are constantly working to become better and our processes and structures even more sustainable. Our commitment is also confirmed by our ISO 9001:2015 certification, which emphasises our quality management.

Working together for a greener future - that is our mission at HAMCO.

Sustainable use of plastic

Plastic is often at the centre of criticism, particularly because of the environmental problems caused by disposable products and improper disposal. However, the material also has clear advantages, especially if it is used sensibly. Its durability means that products can often be used for many years, reducing the need for new resources. Its light weight reduces CO2 emissions during transport, which is particularly beneficial for global supply chains. Plastic is also easily recyclable if appropriate systems are in place, which can make a positive contribution to the circular economy. For many industrial applications, there are currently no real alternatives to plastic, as plastic is often superior to other materials in terms of durability, safety or resource efficiency. It is important to us to use plastic responsibly and efficiently in order to maximise its positive properties and avoid negative environmental impacts.

Resource-efficient injection moulding process

Compared to other production methods, the injection moulding process generates hardly any waste, as surplus material can usually be reused. Defective parts can also be recycled and used in new productions. At HAMCO, the sprues produced during the injection moulding process, as well as any rejects or unavoidable overproduction from the dipping process, are reused for injection moulding. For recycling, the material is first ground and then regranulated. Regranulation is a sensible recycling measure for sustainable production. In the automotive industry, for example, a specified proportion of regranulated material is a requirement for production. By optimising our production processes and the conscious use of materials, we ensure that waste is reduced to a minimum.
