Environment

We not only regard the permanent implementation of environmental protection measures as an obligation, but more an elementary component of any advanced strategic corporate focus.

Taken against this background, responsible working practices represent a central interest at Carl Schaefer. This not only encompasses the latest plant technology, but also the continuous maintenance and inspection of the entire production process by our environmental officers and independent institutes such as Dekra and TÜV.

The results are the latest waste water and exhaust air systems and, consequently, optimised reductions of harmful substance levels which lie well below mandatory legal limits in each individual production step.

In addition to this, company specialists and external consultants are continuously developing new precious metal reconditioning processes which minimise any harmful influences.

The cost-saving and environmentally-friendly recycling of precious metals is deserving of particular attention. Any residues produced during operations are completely recycled without generating any hazardous waste.

As a consequence, Carl Schaefer Gold- und Silberscheideanstalt is an enterprise that can both look to the future and regard its environment with a sound conscience.
