Transparent measures and electricity from renewable sources
Measuring, reducing and avoiding emissions
At the Feddersen Group, we see it as our responsibility to play our part in climate protection. Our focus is consistently on avoidance and reduction. A key achievement: In the past years, we sourced approximately 97 per cent of our purchased electricity from renewable sources. In doing so, we rely primarily on guarantees of origin and are exploring the implementation of further measures.
We are also working towards further progress regarding emissions along the value chain (Scope 3). To this end, we are currently developing quantified reduction targets and coordinating closely with suppliers on appropriate measures. In 2024, the Group’s emissions balance, including Scope 1, Scope 2 and all recorded Scope 3 categories, totalled approximately 868 ktCO₂e.
Measures beyond our value chain
Furthermore, with DEUTIM, we support a partner that implements measures to establish and maintain mixed forests suited to the local environment. Our support has no impact whatsoever on our corporate carbon footprint or our reduction targets, but reflects our local commitment to measures beyond our value chain.

Measures to prevent plastic pellet losses
By signing the voluntary commitment of the Operation Clean Sweep® initiative, our plastics production site in Niederzissen, AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, is implementing specific measures to prevent plastic pellet losses. Technical precautions, adapted processes and the involvement of our staff help to minimise pellet losses.
As a DIN EN ISO 14001-certified company, AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH is implementing further measures to minimise the environmental impact at its site and to optimise the use of resources. In addition to the ongoing review of measures to reduce waste, waste is recorded, sorted and disposed of in accordance with clearly defined standards.

Technical solutions for a more efficient water use
At our plastics production sites in Germany, we are implementing a wide range of measures to ensure that water is used as efficiently as possible. For example, closed cooling circuits and belt filters enable water to be reused multiple times at some sites.
In 2024, water consumption at our plastics production sites in Niederzissen, Norderstedt and Itupeva (Brazil) totalled approximately 250,000 m³. We will continue to work towards further improving our water usage at these sites in the future.
Efficient use of resources and innovative business models
Our activities in the field of circular economy
The Feddersen Group is continuously expanding its activities in the field of the circular economy. In doing so, we strive to use resources as efficiently as possible and to minimise the negative environmental impact of our operations.
Together with our business partners, we pool our expertise and promote the development of circular business models, for example through the use of recycled materials in suitable plastic applications.
