SPINNER - Frontrunner in RF Technology

The SPINNER Group’s environmental commitment is also expressed in meticulous selection of environmentally compatible materials and production methods. Selected raw materials and other preliminary products are purchased from carefully selected suppliers and waste disposal is handled by special service providers, all of which comply with exacting environmental standards and/or are appropriately certified. The use of environmentally critical substances in our operations is continually monitored and every effort made to replace them with less critical alternatives or, if this is impossible, reduce their use. 

SPINNER makes a direct contribution to efficiently using raw materials and thus conserving resources by consistently recycling waste from production processes and appropriately using and reusing returned packaging (in compliance with Article 15, Paragraph 1 of the German Packaging Act).

By implementing stringent energy management measures, SPINNER has succeeded in reducing overall energy consumption and systematically improving its energy efficiency. Last but not least, all employees are encouraged to contribute ideas for steadily improving the company’s environmental performance. Many valuable suggestions for large and small improvements have already been submitted and successfully put into practice.

This commitment is expressed, among other ways, by the fact that SPINNER maintains certified management systems that comply with ISO 9001 (for quality assurance), ISO 14001 (for environmental protection) and ISO 50001 (for energy conservation). These management systems are regularly audited by both in-house departments and independent institutes, which subjects them to a process of continual improvement.

We also meet our obligations in connection with EU Regulation 1907/2006 (REACH). This European Union regulation entered into force on June 1, 2007. REACH stands for “registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals”, and the purpose of this regulation is to protect human health and the environment from the risks that chemicals can pose.
