The Mosca plant meets growing customer demands for sustainability on many levels. Annual production capacity of more than 6,000 metric tons plastic strap When the plant was built, Mosca utilized the potential of the large flat roof to install solar panels covering an area of All electrical energy required for PET strap production is 2,500 sqm. The system feeds power to the grid through sourced from an on-site solar energy system three inverters. This makes it possible to manufacture climate-neutral straps, since the PET strap production Fresh air is used in the winter months to cool production facility uses no more energy than is generated by the machinery in-house photovoltaic system. The current status and effec- tiveness of the system and its components can be moni - tored at any time via Internet. PET straps are manufactured from 100 percent recycled material (bottle flakes). Recycling results in a carbon footprint equivalent to a 500 hectare forest

4 5 Responsible Production

“Responsible Production” reflects the importance we attach Outside and inside: using green energy to sustainability. It means that we take responsibility not only for our own products, for the environment and At our new production plant, we have put the potential of the region, but also for our customers and employees. the huge flat roof to full use and installed a photovoltaic “Responsible Production” has become part of our company system with 2,500 square meters of solar panels, which feed philosophy. the power supply system. Thus, environmentally friendly strapping material can be produced as the production line Cradle-to-grave recycling process for the PET strap does not require more energy than the factory-owned photovoltaic system produces. In Muckental, PET strap is made from 100% recycled ma - terial: The so-called "bottle flakes" are a result of recycled Customer-oriented sustainability plastic bottles coming from of the empties of discounters.

Interseroh, the use of the recycled material saves about 85 % of the CO2 emissions compared with primary proces- ses – these are about 2.5 t of CO2 per t of produced material as opposed to the use of virgin material. The savings made over a year are equivalent to the annual amount of CO2 filtrated from the air by a 500 ha forest.
