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. 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 Konrad Zuse‘s „Z2“ is the first in practice usable programmable computing machine.
