Transparent measures and 97.5% green electricity
Our contribution to climate protection
As the Feddersen Group, we actively take responsibility for climate protection. Our focus is consistently on avoidance and reduction. One major success: we already obtain 97.5% of our electricity from renewable sourceswhich reduced our market-related Scope 2 emissions by 25% in 2024.
However, we are going further: we are currently defining specific reduction targets for our indirect emissions along the entire value chain (Scope 3). Close cooperation with our suppliers is crucial here, for example to minimise emissions from purchased goods. In 2024, the Group's carbon footprint, including all Scope 3 categories, which account for around 99% of our total carbon footprint, totalled 1,360 ktCO2e.

Focus on environmental protection
Our commitment begins with the avoidance of plastic pellet losses. Our plastics production site at AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH in Niederzissen was the first company to sign up to the "Operation Clean Sweep®" (OCS) committed. We use technical equipment and optimised processes to prevent material leakage and also motivate our partners to join us. In addition to preventing granulate, we protect water, air and soil through efficient management systems and the substitution of hazardous substances wherever possible.

Water management and innovative technologies
We are actively committed to minimising our water consumption in order to conserve natural resources and continuously optimise processes. We utilise innovative solutions at our production sites in Germany: Closed cooling circuits and belt filters enable multiple use of water. Dry-running vacuum systems also reduce water pollution. In 2024, we were thus able to reduce our water intensity to an efficient 298 m³ per million euros of turnover, with a total consumption of approx. 250,000 m³. This demonstrates our success in protecting this valuable resource. Our aim is to further minimise our water footprint and thus make a sustainable contribution.
Efficient resources and innovative business models
Pioneers in the circular economy
The Feddersen Group is actively shaping our circular future. Our aim is to achieve maximum resource efficiency and minimise emissions and waste. We focus on the intelligent use of energy and raw materials and drive forward advanced waste management.
In the area of plastics in particular, we promote the establishment of closed loops by increasing the use of recyclates and minimising CO2-Footprint footprint of our products. Our cross-company Development Management Circular Business Models unit is actively shaping this transformation. In addition, we have been investing in promising start-ups that develop circular business models since 2022. Together with our partners, we are supporting the path to a resource-conserving and sustainable economy.
Innovations for more sustainable plastic solutions
Recyclate solutions
With M-CYCLOSE®, BIO-FED, a branch of AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, offers a product line for recyclate solutions from PCR and PIR material streams that consistently closes material cycles and thus contributes to a more sustainable economy.
The focus is on the development of customised solutions, which are developed in close cooperation with customers.
More sustainable polyamides
AKRO-PLASTIC has a broad portfolio of more sustainable alternatives to conventional polyamides. It offers both bio-based, biomass-balanced and recycled materials. Some products are offered with ISCC PLUS or REDcert² sustainability certification.
Bioplastics
At BIO-FED, a branch of AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, experts develop innovative and application-orientated bioplastics. The portfolio includes bio-based and biodegradable plastics.
