Positive balance for CO2 emission credits

With the publication of its "Z-ECO Environmental Report 2009" Grellingen-based Ziegler Paper Mill provides a detailed insight into its ecological balance sheet for last year. Overall, it shows that Ziegler Paper continues to enjoy an excellent position in respect of environmental performance in both national and international comparisons for the sector.

All environmentally-relevant plant and equipment functioned flawlessly and legal and contractual requirements were met everywhere in full.

The volume and intensity targets for CO2 emissions up to the year 2012 that have been agreed with the Federal Office for the Environment were more than fulfilled in 2009, so that once again a positive balance of CO2 emission credits can be carried over into the new year.

Nevertheless, intensive preparatory work is already in the pipeline for further energy optimisation in order to ensure compliance with the legislative activities aimed at tightening CO2 regulations even more after 2012.
