The stability of the shipping packaging is crucial when it comes to being suitable for parcel services or not. In the course of expanding the logistics facilities, a new environmentally friendly packaging process was introduced. The cardboard boxes are cut to the optimal size before shipping which significantly reduces the amount of filling material needed. Thanks to this more compact packaging, less damage occurs in transit, resulting in higher customer satisfaction – a WIN-WIN situation for all concerned.

Sustainable services in C-parts management:
Our numerous innovative and well thought-out service systems help to ensure that resources are used in an environmentally friendly way. The focus is placed on new technologies and the permanent development of efficient systems, which contribute to sustainability.

Bin washing system: RECA KANBAN systems with reusable bins
Our RECA KANBAN system is based on ecological reusable bins. These avoid packaging material and ensure that shelf space is utilised optimally. In order to be able to reuse the bins, they are cleaned in our own KANBAN washing plant with due regard for the environment and returned to the system cycle.

Through our ecologically orientated product policy, we aim to generate optimum customer benefits and, above all, to protect the environment. In doing so, it is of paramount importance to us that we use the best available technologies to safeguard the environment. With our RECA product range, we attach great importance to ecological improvements and recyclability (examples: H1 chemical line, fill-up systems for chemicals).

Hazardous materials management
Professional hazardous materials management is of major importance to us. This includes classifying and labelling chemicals according to the GHS standard, compiling safety data sheets, conscientiously assessing the hazards of technical-chemical products, storing hazardous substances and providing ongoing employee training.

Product innovations generate customer benefits
RECA keeps its ear to the ground when it comes to the market, allowing it to develop sophisticated products. The highlight of this success story is the RECA ratchet line, which won the Design Award 2017. Accordingly, the new RECA ratchet impresses through its unique combination of quality and innovation – a genuinely sustainable tool!

At Kellner & Kunz, we take great pains to be sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Use of district heating
Through our use of district heating we have become pioneers in environmental protection and sustainability. By switching to district heating, we have set an example to many large companies in Wels.

Cooling system that makes use of groundwater
In order to ensure that the air-conditioning of the extension in Marcusstraße is sustainable, we decided to rely on the use of groundwater. The cooling system designed for well water cooling is significantly more economical in terms of electricity consumption than generating cooling water conventionally using an air-cooled chiller. The electricity savings are shown in a comparative calculation between conventional technology and the chosen cooling system utilising groundwater. By using groundwater, it was possible to save a total of 102,500 kWh. This corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of 20 single-family homes.

Energy-saving behaviour
By taking just a few simple measures, everyone can contribute to saving energy at the workplace and thus protect the environment. Our employees are constantly made aware of the importance of saving energy and sensitised to this through various media. This includes, for example, using air conditioning, heating and lighting sensibly. It goes without saying that screens, PCs and printers are switched off in every department when work is over for the day.
