A company always has environmental responsibility. Uzin
Utz AG is well aware of this fact, and practices consistent
environmental management. Here, projects are coordinated
and defined in order to support the development
of products which are ecological, low in emissions and
harmless to health. Our environmental management is
based on the responsible handling of raw materials and
natural resources.

The declared aim is to develop only products which
meet the highest requirements with regard to sustainability.
In our product development, we take into account
the ecological balance data of the raw materials, and by
active cooperation with our suppliers, we can largely dispense
with the use of critical raw materials in our production.
Part of this objective will be achieved in 2011:
We will not produce or sell any more solvent-based adhesives
in Germany.
»»
We are also concentrating on the continual improvement
of all business procedures with regard to sustainability.
We have already achieved significant successes
in energy saving, waste avoidance and all production
emissions.
