Responsible product development

Our products are made from natural, regional raw materials and undergo rigorous testing for environmental compatibility and health protection. We consider the entire life cycle of our products – from raw material extraction through production to application – and always strive for the best balance between functionality and sustainability.

Sustainability is first and foremost a practical issue.

A true circular economy for all materials is our goal. To this end, we are involved in specific projects, for example with the Cradle to Cradle NGO.
Central data acquisition for environmentally relevant topics. A research project with Fraunhofer IPA.
Carbon chemistry made from CO2 out of the atmosphere. That is the goal of a long-term project with several scientific partners.

Accountability is a two-way process


At PNZ, we do our projects because we think it's right. Our company founders did this long before sustainability was on everyone's lips. And we've found that the more input we get from the outside, the better we get. So feel free to read our accountability reports and let us know if you have any ideas on how we can get even better.

Act first, talk then.
We evaluate ourselves according to all 17 U.N. sustainable development goals.
