Sustainability at HAMCO

For HAMCO, sustainable business practice means using resources responsibly, reducing avoidable environmental impact and continuously reviewing operational processes.

At HAMCO, we are implementing the following measures:

Energy efficiency through PV system: On the roof of our production facility, a photovoltaic system generates electricity from solar energy, which is used to meet our own energy requirements. This enables us to meet part of our electricity needs using renewable energy that we generate ourselves.
Demand-driven lighting: In our production halls, motion detectors ensure that the lighting is only switched on when needed. This helps to reduce the energy required for lighting.
Avoiding the use of saline heat transfer fluids: In the manufacture of PVC dip-coated parts and PVC coatings, HAMCO does not use heat transfer fluids containing salt. This ensures that no production-related salt residues are left on the finished components.
Reduction of waste: The vast majority of PVC production waste from our manufacturing processes is not disposed of at HAMCO, but is reused within our own material cycle.
Reusable packaging solutions: We use reusable cardboard boxes to package our products. As they can be reused several times, this helps to reduce the need for new packaging.
Digitisation instead of paper: At HAMCO, documents are largely created and managed digitally. This helps to reduce paper consumption in day-to-day work.
Green spaces on the company premises: When designing our company grounds, we make a conscious effort to avoid completely sealing off the surfaces and to retain green spaces.

We check our Manufacturing processes and business processes, with a constant focus on how resources can be used more efficiently and avoidable burdens reduced.

Sustainable use of plastic

Plastics fulfil important technical functions in many industrial applications. In our view, the key to using this material responsibly lies in using materials in a targeted manner, minimising production waste wherever possible, and making the most of existing opportunities for reuse.

At HAMCO, we therefore consider not only the properties of the finished component, but also the use of materials within our manufacturing processes.

PVC production offcuts in our own material cycle

HAMCO recycles suitable PVC production offcuts from various manufacturing processes back into its own material cycle. The materials are ground down and the resulting regrind is reused in the injection moulding process.

In our blog post, we explain in detail which production off-products can be used for this purpose, how they are combined, and what possibilities arise when reusing the ground material PVC production offcuts within its own material cycle.
