The state of Lower Saxony and the European Regional Development Fund are subsidizing the Feldhaus thin brick plant as part of the project "Resource-efficient optimization of flat brick packaging". The state funds are being made available within the More Developed Region (SER) program area.

Project description

Band instead of cardboard – a step towards the future

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

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

Advantages at a glance:

  • Less packaging material saves resources and reduces waste.
  • Less waste – The volume of waste at the construction site is drastically reduced.
  • Lower CO₂ emissions – through reduced material usage 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 a little closer to this goal every day.
