Sustainability
W. Dimer GmbH attaches great importance to environmentally compatible production, economical use of raw materials and conservation of resources. With our ecoline product and packaging solutions, we process a wide range of sustainable and resource-saving foams and cellulose wadding.
Recycling of polyurethane foam waste
Polyurethane foam waste is shredded at our company and processed into a new material - composite foam - in a special binding process. This in turn is used to produce sustainable packaging, technical parts, sound insulation and much more.
Biomass "wood chips" replaces fuel oil
Since 2011, we have been heating our office building as well as our production and storage halls with a wood chip heating system and it also covers the hot water preparation. The wood chips come from sustainably managed forests from our direct neighborhood (Hotzenwald in the southern Black Forest).
Power supply through photovoltaic system
In 2013 and 2018, two photovoltaic systems with a total output of 170 kWp were installed on the roof of our new production and storage halls. The generated electricity flows directly into our own power grid and covers a large part of our electricity needs. The remaining electricity demand is covered exclusively by electricity generated from 100 % hydropower in power plants on the Upper Rhine.
