Sustainability in the machinery and plant construction sector

Companies are increasingly making their production and products more environmentally friendly and acting more sustainably. Appropriately designed production can save significant costs in the long term. In in the machinery and plant construction industry, this applies in particular to the high energy consumption associated with the manufacture and operation of machines. In addition, the business requires a large number of raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics, which is associated with a high CO2 footprint.

Sustainable value creation requires factories and processes that are

highly efficient, low-waste, low-emission and ready for the circular economy.

Together with ROI-EFESO, companies improve their sustainability footprint throughout the entire value creation process. In the production of machines and systems, this is aimed in particular at reducing the consumption of resources, maximizing the reusability of materials, and improving recycling and circular economy processes.
