We all know about the need to avoid carbon. But saving it is not always in the hands of the individual: Long before products enter our everyday lives, they bring with them a CO2 history. Among other things, energy consumption during production and long transport routes result in high carbon dioxide emissions. If the companies involved in the supply chain do not pay attention to their CO2 footprint, it quickly adds up in the final product.
EWS is addressing its own carbon footprint and wants to set the course for the future by further reducing climate-damaging gases. Master's student Jan Mayländer has been analyzing energy consumption and emission sources in the company since March. His environmental protection studies at Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Umwelt Nürtingen-Geislingen provides him with the best knowledge base for this.
