The state of Lower Saxony and the European Regional Development Fund are subsidizing the thin brick factory Feldhaus as part of the project "Resource-Efficient Optimization of Flat Brick Strap Packaging." The state funds are being made available within the "More Developed Regions" (SER) program area.

Project description

Banderole instead of paper cardboard – a step towards the future

Until now, flat straps were individually packaged in boxes and stacked on pallets. The "Resource-Efficient Optimization of Flat Strap Packaging" project will eliminate cardboard packaging for the straps. Instead, the straps will be bundled with a plastic banderol and shrink-wrapped on a pallet – without cardboard. The banderol will be printed with all the necessary product information.

This step is an expression of our consistent commitment to environmental responsibility and resource conservation. As a pioneer in thin brick production, we combine product quality with future-oriented, ecological principles – and this will also be reflected in our packaging in the future.

Advantages at an overview:

  • Less packaging material – saves resources and reduces waste.
  • Less waste – The volume of waste at the construction site is reduced drastically
  • Lower CO₂ emissions – through reduced material use and optimized logistics.
  • Easy recycling – space-saving and uncomplicated.
  • Efficient handling – faster opening, less effort on the construction site.
  • Transparent visibility – no unpacking necessary.
  • Weatherproof stability – ideal for storage, transport and on-site use.

We are working towards CO₂-neutral production of our products and are getting closer to this every day.
