CO2 Footprint &
Sustanability

Carbon-Neutral Company

Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity since the end of the Ice Age and is the defining task of our time. The consequences of global warming are becoming increasingly tangible and the pressure on politicians and companies is growing – not least due to the Fridays for Future movement. There is now a worldwide consensus that we urgently need to counteract man-made climate change.

The success of emission reductions depends to a large extent on the voluntary and consistent action of industry in the industrialized countries. Double Dragon Fabric has therefore decided to take responsibility for the world we leave to our children and grandchildren.

True civilization is a world where everyone shares and respects nature

What is a carbon footprint?

The carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gases (measured in CO2 equivalents) produced directly and indirectly, through an activity of an individual, a company, an organization or a product. It includes the resulting emissions from raw materials, production, transport, trade, use, recycling and disposal.

The basic idea behind the carbon footprint is therefore to create a basis on which influences on the climate can be measured, evaluated and compared. In this way, necessary reduction potentials can be identified, measures developed and their effectiveness evaluated.

Environmental Awareness

Yarn Recycling

We are aware of the role we play in the environment. That’s why we not only optimize our own manufacturing process but also ensure that our products are as recyclable as possible. For example, our waste yarn is sent for recycling by a process that allows it to be used for manufacturing new yarn. We also regularly test the energy efficiency of all our work processes.

Photovoltaic System

Sustainability on the roof

Photovoltaic systems are a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to convert sunlight into electricity. This can save several hundred tons of CO2 per year. Double Dragon Fabric is thus making an important contribution to the energy transition and climate protection.

Improvement
of the CO2 footprint

Photovoltaic project with SWU

Double Dragon Fabric can meet 15% of its electricity demand through regenerative self generation. About 90% of solar energy can be directly consumed on-site. This also improves the carbon dioxide footprint.
