Our measures for sustainable CO₂ management
We are helping to steadily reduce BÜFA's carbon footprint and conserve and preserve resources for future generations through numerous measures at our sites. Sustainable CO₂ management, regular assessment of our environmental aspects and the associated environmental impacts, and fixed environmental targets show us the way forward. We are continuously optimizing these processes with the help of lean management.
Sustainable Mobility
BÜFA is actively committed to environmentally friendly mobility solutions – from the electric truck fleet at Vivochem and optimized transport routes to the switch to electric vehicles. The aim is to consistently reduce CO₂ emissions in the transport sector. Through intelligent route planning, the expansion of the charging infrastructure, and flexible working models, we promote efficient, climate-friendly mobility for employees and our logistics processes.
Sustainable packaging solutions
At BÜFA, we rely on sustainable packaging solutions to conserve resources and reduce emissions. By increasing the use of rinsed IBCs for technical products, we extend the service life of the containers and reduce waste and costs. In addition, 10- and 20-liter canisters with a 50% recycled content are used – with consistently high safety standards thanks to UN approval.
Lean management as a building block for sustainable, lean processes
With lean management, BÜFA creates efficient and sustainable processes—for example, through the 5S method, which has already been implemented in large parts of the company and is noticeably increasing productivity. At our sites, we focus on clear structures, digitalization, automation, and resource efficiency. Projects such as the optimization of the high-bay warehouse at the BÜFA Chemikalien site reduce disruptions, improve processes, and take the strain off the teams. This enables us to avoid waste while promoting quality, safety, and motivation.
