What have we done

In addition to the fact that we at Unika value quality very highly, we have also included sustainable products and environmentally friendly production on our agenda. We are working on the basis of the UN's World Goal No. 12 Responsible consumption and production and have, among other things,

  • Solar cells on roofs (these can produce up to about 70,000 KWH - about 7 households' annual consumption)
  • Heat pump systems, where we collect waste heat from the machines and use it for our own recycling, in addition we send CO2 neutral excess heat to Ans Fjenvarmeanlæg, where we in 2019 have covered approximately 100 households' annual heat consumption
  • Electric-powered truck's
  • New saving energy tools and machines
  • Production of recycled plastic
  • Solutions where material waste from high-tech items is recycled in low-tech products
  • Use of more bio-based plastics made from biological waste products

 

The heat pump system at Unika

The reversal plant, has not only provided a recycling advantage but also a production advantage.We do get a better production quality in connection with installed comfort keel in the halls and by the cooling water in the machines having a uniform temperature. This is very important in the production of finished items.

The room heat is controlled by comfort ventilation with adjustable temperatures, so the halls are comfortable to work in.
