Our values
Sustainability programme
With the Heinlein "Mission e", we as an internationally active company pledge to support increased sustainability, climate protection, and the conscious use of resources. To do this, we work intensively on new ideas for contributing to a cleaner future.
Heinlein is already supporting many initiatives today:
Since 2012, Heinlein has had a certified energy management system and promotes the ideas suggested via this system for improving energy efficiency. Resource-saving manufacturing processes are as much a part of our sustainability concept as the acquisition of modern injection moulding machines with hybrid drives.
The emissions of our production operations are minimal.
All rejects and waste created in the production process are professionally recycled. We process exclusively high-quality raw materials and masterbatch, which is crucial for the long-term safe use of the products. Our portfolio also includes closures made of ecological raw materials such as organic plastics made from sugar cane.
We have continuously reduced our energy consumption through investments for improving energy efficiency and green electricity from our in-house photovoltaics installation.
Management
Our management team is constantly developing new strategies for adapting our products and innovations to the individual requirements of our global customers and their target groups. Entirely in line with the Heinlein motto:
We protect your values.
Since 1932
