Our responsibility to nature and people

Our strategy is based on the economical and environmentally friendly use of resources and respectful care for our employees and the region. In everything we do, we minimize the burden on the surrounding environment.

Responsible production is not a marketing objective. It’s the way we operate here every day. Whether it’s energy consumption, clean materials, or the lives of our employees and the region, we always strive for the path with the least possible burden on the environment.

Energy

Electric melting without emissions

Our glass is one of the most environmentally friendly fused glass in the world. We heat our melting furnaces fully electrically, without combustion. The units do not emit noise, dust or heat emissions into the surroundings.
The electric melting system does not produce any pollutants such as NOx, typical of gas or combined heating. We designed and developed the furnaces ourselves and continuously optimize them for the cleanest operation.

In 2022, we have reduced our absolute natural gas consumption by more than 30% while maintaining the same production volume.

Raw materials

Locally sourced

76.5% of raw materials come from our region or its immediate surroundings. Short transport routes also apply to spare parts, packaging and downstream services.
Local sourcing reduces transport emissions and directly supports suppliers and the economy of the North Bohemian region where Crystalex operates.

Local raw materials mean shorter routes, lower emissions and direct support for the region.

Glass recycling

We recycle up to 90% of glass

We return the production shards back to the glassmaking plant as much as possible. The recycling rate is approximately 90%. This completes the production cycle and significantly reduces the need for primary raw materials.

Approximately 90% of production shards are returned to production.

Packaging material

Recycled packaging

All our packaging is recyclable and our production contains 94% recycled material. The packaging material always meets the requirements of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).

94% recycled content in packaging, full compliance with FSC standards.

Composition of glass

Without heavy metals

Our glass is free of heavy metals. The choice of materials is part of our environmental policy and respect for the safety of customers and employees.

Glass free of lead, arsenic and other heavy metals.

Water

Responsible water management

We cool the electrical units including accessories with water from the open circuit. The water is cleaned, cooled and returned to the cycle. We supply the production areas with potable water from our own sources.
We are continuously improving our energy and materials management, for example using residual waste heat from production units to preheat water for further use.

Closed water circuit, own sources of drinking water, planned circulating cooling of moulds.
