ENVIRONMENT

Preserving and protecting the environment is a prime objective for MONIER. Here are some examples of how we integrate this into our everyday work:

  • Re-utilisation of concrete roof tiles.
  • Reduced consumption of raw materials minimising the use of natural resources from quarries or from sand winning.
  • Renewed use of waste water in production.
  • Use of biologically degradable oils as a substitute for fossil oil products.
  • Use of biologically degradable substances as parting agents for tile moulds replacing those containing mineral oils.
  • Use of bio-diesel and bio-hydraulic oils for fork lift trucks.
  • Renaturalisation of quarries after use.

Training and evaluation

  • Training courses for employees ensure that MONIER acts with consciousness of the environment at all levels.
  • Life-cycle analyses of each specific product provide the basis for us to further develop protective measures for nature.
