Do you like honey?

Posted by Wolfgang Wimmer on August 31, 2009

We love it! Especially the one from our own hives.

Do you know about the Varroa mite? A parasite that is endangering bee populations in Europe, US and New Zealand. This mite is currently controlled using chemicals in the bee hive. We are developing an innovative treatment using heat instead of chemicals.

First set of tests show promising results. The ECODESIGN Varroa-Controller will be introduced to the market soon.

PS: It is not only about honey but about our food security: No bees mean no pollination resulting in less or no fruit and vegetables.

Carbon Footprint of products

Posted by Wolfgang Wimmer on August 31, 2009

These days large retailers assess their Greenhouse Gas emissions by looking at their supply chain in addition to their own operations. Currently an ISO standard for calculating and communicating the carbon footprint of produts is on the way.

What is your strategy to respond to such requirements?

Need help to understand the footprint of your product or need help to certify your calculations?  We offer tailor made solutions for you.

A detailed understanding of the carbon footprint is also a basis for target oriented product improvements.
