Sustainability
Environmentally conscious & efficient warehousing
Sustainability is a central element of our corporate philosophy. Our aim is to ensure that warehouse automation not only saves space, but also energy and resources.
Our approach
Our aim is always to take an environmentally friendly approach.
Energy consumption and batteries
Our warehouse is efficient. The power consumption of our Cellgo shuttles during operation is comparable to that of a standard laptop. Like all other components, the batteries we use meet the highest standards. They contain no toxic heavy metals such as nickel, cadmium or cobalt and are almost completely recyclable.
Plastic
Almost 400 million tons of plastic products are manufactured every year. Recycled materials are used in the manufacture of less than 10% of these products. There is no comprehensible reason for the poor recycling rate. Recyclates are now available in all necessary qualities and in sufficient quantities. Whenever possible, we use recycled material for our Euro containers. It can be almost completely recycled in its further life cycle.
Short transportation routes
We prefer to source our materials from Germany and other EU countries. With short transportation routes, we avoid long truck journeys and keep CO2 emissions low. At the same time, we guarantee short delivery times and can react quickly to current circumstances.
Metals & alloys
Stainless steels, aluminium or conventional galvanized steels are often used in warehousing. Advanced, high-strength alloys and coatings can be superior to these materials in many applications. They also achieve greenhouse gas savings of up to 70 % during production. We are therefore increasingly using recyclable coatings made from various metals in the construction of our products.
