As an industrial company, we consider it our duty to take active responsibility for protecting the environment and climate. We assume responsibility – not only for the safety of our products, but also for the impacts of our actions on people and nature.
Therefore, we pursue concrete environmental objectives in the areas of energy, mobility, resource consumption and emissions – measurable, traceable and future-oriented.

Measures:
Goal: 50% [kWh] energy savings in the warehouse area
Measures:
Goal: 90 % fewer emissions by using green electricity and 5 % fewer emissions within the vehicle fleet.
Measures:
Goal: Heat recovery saves gas (3 % fewer kWh).
Measures:
At the Lingen site, waste heat from the refrigeration machines is used to support the heating system – saving 3% kWh gas per year.
Goal: Reduce water consumption in carpet-mat production by 5 % compared to 2022.
Measures:
Goal: Increase the share of plastic-free product packaging worldwide by 5 %.
Measures:
Waste reduction and conservation of resources in the area of product packaging through the choice of alternative packaging materials and elimination of blister packs.
The European Chemicals Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 – known as the REACH Regulation – stipulates under which conditions substances of very high concern (SVHC) may be placed on the market or used in the EU. On this page, the emco Group provides information in accordance with Article 33 of the REACH Regulation on SVHC substances and products that contain them.
emco mats are designed so that they can be used multiple times, washed and largely recycled. In this way, we close the material cycle and reduce waste. With emco Refit we accompany you in the renovation and renewal of your entrance mats or bath-grids – from condition inspection and maintenance through to the replacement of textile inserts and complete take-back. Our comprehensive service team ensures value retention, sustainability and outstanding circular design – awarded with the German Design Award.

With ECONYL® carpet mats can be recycled in a resource-conserving manner. Also, production waste, such as off-cuts from logo-mat manufacturing, flows back into the cycle. By using the environmentally friendly ECONYL® yarn we give old nylon waste a new life. Our goal: to return products at the end of their usage into the regeneration process – for endless recycling from carpet-mat to carpet-mat.

This material is made from post-consumer waste – i.e., plastics that have already been used and discarded. Through their reuse we close the recycling loop and convert used raw materials into durable, sustainable products. In this way a real added value for the environment and users is created.
