White Refinery Schur will thus support Schur in not only operating its production facilities on two continents without waste, but also in producing large parts of the required production energy from its own residual materials. We also want to make production climate-neutral together – through reforestation, smart energy management and intelligent waste streams.

With this exclusive cooperation, Schur and the Biofabrik would like to show that it is indeed possible to combine economic interests with ecological ones – also and especially in an industry that processes plastic itself. After completion, the plant, which is already under construction, will convert all production residues from Schur’s packaging lines into electrical and thermal energy.

After successful test operation, the concept is to be transferred to all plants worldwide and improved jointly. For our partner, the use of our system at worldwide locations has even more advantages: The resulting quantities of material can be used automatically to generate energy and do not have to be stored, transported or disposed of – a rational and emotional competitive advantage.

We hope that the concept will serve plastic processing companies around the world as a blanket template for sustainable action. Follow our way there, learn about setbacks and how we will make it in the end.
