In today's climate, both political and ecological, Franke, the world's leading manufacturer in kitchen solutions,
appreciates the need to demonstrate its commitment to the protection of the environment.
The company's manufacturing plant in Aarburg, Switzerland, contains a central water purification unit to help reduce
unnecessary waste. The water is cleaned and filtered in order to be re-used for manufacturing.
The recycling process allows Franke to use water as sparingly as possible and the resulting output is as pure as the
original source.
John Swain, product manager for Franke, said: "Franke is dedicated to ensuring that the consumption of raw materials,
energy, water and other products is kept as low as possible. Metal is also recycled in the plant's steel blast furnace.
"The principle of avoidance, reduction, recycling and disposal always applies. In fact, Franke strives to achieve even
higher levels of environmental protection."
A group environmental protection officer is responsible for coordinating and monitoring all environmental protection
measures within the Franke Group. Also, at every Franke factory, a local environmental protection officer is appointed,
whose advice and technical expertise is sought during decision-making processes.
