Sustainability at SUMA: Our approach, our commitment
Environmental protection is deeply anchored in our company´s fundamental orientation. SUMA products are used wherever residual materials are reused:
in the production of
biogas, treatment and processing of
wastewater or when
liquid manure is used as fertilizer for farmland. Besides the economic orientation, ecological aspects are crucial in our company. The
protection of humans and environment is considered during the entire product life cycle. A comfortable and
healthy manufacturing environment, the protection of resources through ecologically responsible production techniques are just as important to us as the safety and cost-effectiveness of our products.
In our sustainability report, we transparently explain what responsible action means to us.

Building complex with potential
Based on a maximum sustainable construction concept, the starting signal was given in 2019 for the realization of the new production hall, which was completed in autumn 2020.
Another, separate power feed no longer made sense with the new building. Consequently, there was a necessity for a stand-alone substation. Additionally, the newly built hall was also equipped with photovoltaics (211 kWp). With the growth, the power requirement has also increased. The new hall is furthermore geothermal heated, which requires a lot of electricity as well.
A commercial storage tank is the logical consequence to temporarily store the energy generated by the photovoltaic system. Overall, the system should cover the annual electricity consumption.
