Sustainability.<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

At the heart of our company philosophy are not only the demands for quality, progress and the best possible customer benefit, but also sustainability. In this context, we understand the balance of ecological and economic responsibility, starting from the use of resources to a forward-looking product portfolio and the sustainable, strategic orientation of the company.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Examples of this include the development of particularly environmentally friendly special fuels and modern biolubricants, as well as investments in various wind energy projects to achieve climate-neutral, renewable energy in D\u00fcbrichen-Prie\u00dfen, Haiger-Dillbrecht and Singen.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

Oest also supports the Green Mobility Future initiative as a sponsor member. The independent institute deals with important mobility issues of the future. The focus is on sustainability, e-fuels, biofuels, renewable energies and bio-economy. For example, e-fuels are produced using electricity obtained from renewable energies, water and CO2 in the air, and unlike traditional fuels, they do not emit any additional CO2. This liquid fuel can be used as an additive to gasoline, diesel or heating oil, or as a pure fuel that can replace all existing conventional liquid energy sources.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

Our sense of responsibility for social and ecological sustainability is particularly evident due to our membership in the \u201cUnited Nations Global Compact\u201d initiative founded by UN Secretary-General Kofi Anan. Members of this alliance are obliged to align their operational and strategic actions according to 10 strictly defined principles, such as human rights, business norms, environmental protection and the fight against corruption.

For some product groups, we will use refurbished drums that are environmentally friendly and do not harm resources, with the same design but without the Oest sign. These Reco canisters are specifically conditioned and therefore reusable. Besides the cost advantages enjoyed by our customers, our Reco canisters are particularly environmentally friendly and resource-friendly. Possible minor deformities in the drums are knowingly accepted. For the environment!<\/p>\r\n

    Recycled Boxes<\/h2>\r\n

    Sustainability and ecological responsibility are reflected throughout the entire value-added process at Oest, right down to the application of resource-friendly packaging. Oest's new generation lubricant cans contain a high percentage of recycled materials. Through research and development, the boxes are constantly optimized. In addition to maximum safety, functionality and ease of application, the new boxes make a significant contribution to reducing the CO2 footprint and support a sustainable recycled material cycle. Recycled plastic material can be found in most of Oest's 1, 5 and 20 liter cans. In addition, the well-functioning multi-loop system for recycling drums and IBC containers is another important innovation in terms of resource-friendly product optimization and logistics.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

    Not only lubricants but also logistics and product design are constantly being developed in Oest. Our sales partners are also benefiting from the switch to new Oest branded 200-litre and 60-litre drums for many product lines.<\/p>\r\n
