Environmental Protection

Environmental protection, just like safety and health protection, is a core component of all processes at WACKER. The focus is not so much on remedial measures but on prevention – evaluation begins as early as the product-development and plant-planning stages. In accordance with the core ideas of the Responsible Care^® initiative, our environmental-protection measures often go beyond what is legally required. We continuously work on conserving resources and further decoupling energy consumption and waste generation from production volume.

Our sites regularly inform the public about our environmental protection activities. This includes, for example, the annual community meetings at our Nünchritz site and the Burghausen site’s yearly environmental reports.
