Utz Group

Raising the amount of recycled material shouldn’t be that difficult you say? What sounds pretty straightforward at first is, in reality, a more complex process than you might think. There is a variety of challenges: Regulatory limitations, especially regarding food contact and hygiene issues, customers requiring specific material properties, complications during the production process, continuous product innovation, demand fulfilment or saving high-quality material sources – to name just a few. To overcome these challenges, it takes nothing less than fully embedding circularity in our operations and supply chain. With our climate and UIC strategy, and our reusable and fully recyclable transport packaging products, we are fully committed to reaching a resource-efficient circular economy.

From old to new ♻️ To reach our ambitious climate goals, using more recycled materials is essential. Already since the 1970s, we have built up extensive expertise in the handling of recyclates and have established Utz Industrial Compounds (UIC®). These are high-quality secondary raw materials with specified material properties, continuously tested and in accordance with ISO standards. By using UIC®, we reduce the carbon footprint of our products by 60% and keep valuable resources in the material cycle. Together with our customers, we are making an important contribution to a carbon neutral circular economy. #recycle #circulareconomy #utzgroup #UIC

On our way to net-zero emissions, we will use 100% energy from renewable sources by 2030. ⚡💚This is an ambitious goal, and solar power is playing an important role in achieving it. ☀️All Utz companies are working to make the best possible use of the roofs of our production halls for PV systems. In 2024, we have almost tripled our capacity to produce 3,800 KWp of electricity ourselves, and the trend is going upwards. ⬆️ "In addition to strategic and environmental considerations, having our own PV systems also brings economic benefits," says Ralf Boomhuis, member of the management team at Georg Utz GmbH, Germany. "For example, producing your own electricity makes you more independent of the international electricity market, the grid and volatile prices. Electricity costs are also smoothed, making them easy to plan around. We are taking an active and smart role in the flexibility of the electricity market. But we are also thinking beyond our existing space and are already planning to participate in local energy projects.” 💪👏 Take a look at our new sustainability report to find out more about our energy targets and other inspiring actions we are taking to achieve them. 📖💡 https://lnkd.in/dhB3etMS #utzgroup #sustainability #solarpower

To achieve our ambitious climate goals, our employees also play an active role. Last year, we carried out the myclimate Company Challenge. Kiko Liu, Company Challenge team leader at Georg Utz China, describes the impact of the challenge as follows: "𝐷𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑒, 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑔𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑔𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟, ℎ𝑎𝑑 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑠, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑦'𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑛 𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠.

This demonstrates the importance of not only implementing top-down strategies, but also engaging our employees in the journey to a more sustainable future.
