Sustainability

Economic, ecological, social

Sustainable action is part of BODE Chemie’s company culture. Decisions, process improvements and the implementation of new ideas is based on the three cornerstones of economic, ecological and social sustainability. From logistics, product development to staff – BODE Chemie accepts its responsibility to conserve resources, protect the environment and offer its employees best working conditions. All these efforts contribute to the enterprise’s sustained development and make BODE Chemie fit for the future.

Selected examples:

  • Saved energy


    In production, the valves of the Sterillium® bottling line are operated by compressed air. Thanks to optimising the compressed air system the line’s energy demand has dropped by 300 000 kWh and the CO2 emissions by approx. 16 t per year.
  • Less raw material consumption
    By reducing the weight of the PE bottles for all colourant and fragrance-free Sterillium® products and of the bottles for instrument disinfectants BODE Chemie is able to save more than 83 t of resources for the production of plastics.


    In addition, the optimisation of the labels has saved production steps and improved the recycling process.
