STANDARDS

Quality and environmental management are our top priorities. This applies both to our products and also to our production processes. We guarantee our customers quality of the very highest order thanks to our integrated management system, which is certified to ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and FSC^®.

USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

HOSTI International attaches more and more importance to saving fuel costs, therefore we exclusively only use renewable energy.
This doesn’t only benefit the environment, but is cost effective for us too. This has enabled our costs for gas to be reduced by about 65% and by 35% for electricity compared to 2005.
The photovoltaic power plant on the roof of our warehouses is one of the largest in our region.

USE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Through the use of renewable resources in the development of our products, we constantly review our manufacturing processes to ensure quality, economy and consideration for the environment.

Our innovative solutions for energy efficiency help to protect the environment. The main advantages of disposable tableware such as practicality and hygiene are of course well known, but environmental benefits less so. Not only do they have a variety of uses, but the most recent studies have shown that disposable tableware does have a positive eco balance from manufacture to disposal.

WITH FSC^® AGAINST DEFORESTATION AND FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Germany is one of the top producers and consumers of paper. Wood is needed wherever paper is processed. Millions of tonnes of pulp, paper and cardboard are imported to Germany every year - it is hard to imagine how many trees need to be felled for this.

However, we have joined a movement that focuses on sustainable forestry. The idea is that woods should not just be felled to produce paper and then left dormant, but that steps should be taken to conserve the woods and handle resources responsibly in the forestry sector.

The "Forest Stewardship Council" (FSC^®) has set out strict criteria that serve to ensure that uncontrolled deforestation, violations of human rights and pollution of the environment are avoided. HOSTI International also observes these exacting ecological, economic and social criteria during production.

In the production chain, HOSTI International is now an FSC^®-certified company.

In this way, HOSTI is making an active contribution to ensuring sustainable forestry practices and to achieving important social goals for those employed in the forestry sector, especially in the third world.
