BORBET IS A MEMBER OF THE ASI
As a metalworking company, we take our responsibility seriously. We manufacture our products with the intention of harmonising high quality with our ecological, social and ethical standards. True to this philosophy, the BORBET Group has been a member of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) since 01.01.2021.The ASI is made up of various stakeholders in the aluminium industry. Its aim is to create greater sustainability and transparency along the entire aluminium value chain for the responsible use of aluminium as a raw material. To this end, a standard has been developed that defines all steps from bauxite mining to aluminium processing and recycling, and monitors and certifies compliance with environmental and social aspects in this context. The ASI certification includes eleven key points from the areas of governance, environment and social issues.
BORBET actively faces up to ecological challenges and thus makes its contribution to the sustainable production of quality wheels made by BORBET.
BORBET IMPLEMENTS SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS
In Medebach (North Rhine-Westphalia), we replaced the conventional HQI lighting in other areas with LED lamps last year. The replacement represents a small building block in BORBET's sustainability strategy.
BORBET USES WASTE HEAT
All BORBET sites have launched initiatives to reduce energy consumption. The use of waste heat at our melting furnaces was particularly successful. Burner air preheating was successfully introduced at the sites, where hot exhaust gas is passed through a heat exchanger to return energy to the burners.
BORBET E-SMARTS.
BORBET has a wide range of wheels for vehicles with alternative drive systems. It is therefore only logical that the focus is now also increasingly being placed on sustainability in the company's own fleet.
