Roth X-Pert S5+ system pipes are manufactured CO2-neutrally and are completely recyclable. Roth Werke is once again sending out a strong signal for climate protection: the Roth X-PERT S5+ system pipe is produced on state-of-the-art machines using 100 per cent CO2-free green electricity from selected renewable energy sources. This underlines the company's commitment to sustainable, resource-saving production processes.
Roth relies on self-produced photovoltaic electricity and certified green electricity from the utility grid to supply energy to the production facilities and the cooling circuit, as well as for the battery-powered industrial trucks. "This combination enables environmentally and climate-friendly production that uses as few resources as possible," says Sascha Allissat, Member of the Management Board of Roth Werke.
Utilising process heat
Another important contribution to energy efficiency is the innovative recovery of process heat from plastics processing. Two high-performance water/water heat pumps utilise this energy to air-condition the production hall. Thanks to these measures, Roth saves 100 percent of direct and indirect CO2 emissions compared to conventional production using the German electricity mix and heating the hall with fossil fuels. Another plus point for climate friendliness Roth X-PERT S5+ production does not require any cross-linking chemicals or further energy-intensive processing steps that could cause additional local emissions.
Highly flexible, durable system pipes can be recycled
The highly flexible Roth X-PERT S5+ system pipes consist of five layers. They are designed with a safety plus for a continuous temperature load of 70 °C and a short-term temperature load of 100 °C - in other words, they are extremely durable. They are also easy to recycle, both for recycling after decades of use and for the reuse of production waste. "We process the latter completely internally and reuse it for other purposes," explains Sascha Allissat.
Climate protection is a central component of our corporate values
Roth Werke has been certified in accordance with the EMAS environmental management system since 2010. "As a family business, it is very important to us to take our social responsibility into account, which is why we are pursuing an ambitious climate protection programme and have developed our own environmental management system. Resource conservation is an integral part of our corporate philosophy," emphasises Managing Director Christin Roth-Jäger. Key points of the ambitious EMAS environmental programme are aimed at continuously improving sustainability, especially in production processes, and thus further reducing the ecological footprint. "If you want to rely on climate-friendly products for new builds or renovations, you've come to the right place," emphasises Sascha Allissat, "our CO2 neutral system pipe proves that we can make a decisive contribution to greater sustainability and resource conservation with intelligent solutions and state-of-the-art technologies."
