Environmental protection

As with every other form of industrial production, the manufacturing of decoration fabrics also leads to the production of waste, wastewater, and exhaust fumes. Nevertheless, the environmental burden is to be limited to an absolute minimum and improvements are to be brought about constantly by implementing new technologies and appropriate measures, within the limits of what is economically feasible.

Création Baumann reduces waste quantities by ensuring recycling. In production, we endeavour to reuse materials, for instance the carton tubes on which we reel our fabrics in great quantity. Création Baumann products are all dispatched wrapped in polyethylene packaging foil which bears no environmental or health risks.

Since 1974, Création Baumann has operated a neutralization plant for the further processing of the alkaline wastewater produced during the dyeing process. Thanks to this plant, no additional chemicals are needed to meet the legally stipulated wastewater limit values. Moreover, wastewater samples are taken on a daily basis.

Thanks to the whirling washer described earlier, exhaust air is purified of all harmful substances. Within the scope of its membership in the Economic Energy Agency (EnAW), Création Baumann has engaged to reduce actively the carbon dioxide emissions generated in its production
