Environmentally Conscious Solutions
As a product manufacturer, we have a significant potential to promote energy and material conscious solutions in the manufacturing industry. Environmental sustainability must be integrated into the entire supply chain, and product quality must never be compromised. Most of all, we see energy efficiency and the circular economy as opportunities to respond to future challenges and tightening environmental requirements well in advance.
Terra Patris strives to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and develop our factories and production methods accordingly. We are increasing the proportion of renewable energy and will begin a carbon footprint calculation over the course of 2022.
Our production is based on high-quality materials that extend the life span of our products and reduce emissions. In addition, we provide spare parts for wearable components and some of our products have many uses reducing the need to purchase multiple devices. In our production we only use materials with known origins and strive to find new more ecological alternatives for any harmful chemicals used in production.
Alongside our responsible efforts, Terra Patris works to improve the availability of the company’s sustainability information. In addition to a responsible supply chain and production, the sustainable use of products is an essential part of the life cycle. By improving the knowledge of our stakeholders, we steer the entire sector towards more sustainable operations.
We have been using renewable and recyclable packaging materials for years. Products are primarily delivered on wooden pallets equipped with collars and plywood covers. The packaging cardboard of inco-ming components is either recycled or shredded for use as extra filling for packaging more fragile products. We use plastic for packaging only if the customer specifically demands it. Thanks to long-term customer relationships, the majority of packaging materials are returned to our factory for reuse.
We have improved energy efficiency by replacing light fixtures with ecological LED alternatives at the Finnmaster Boats and TP Silva factories. The new LED lighting solutions have helped us reduce energy consumption by more than 50%, which has made our factories more environmentally friendly. The brighter LED lighting also improves occupational safety and staff comfort. We will continue to systemati-cally improve energy efficiency by also updating lighting solutions at our other factories.
