ECOLOGY WITH HEAD AND HEART
HYGAN has always developed and produced with a clear conscience for our precious environment.
Already at the beginning of the 1980s, we recognised the need to develop environmentally friendly and sustainable laundry, cleaning, care and maintenance products. In 1986, we introduced the company’s internal ‘green leaf’ quality mark to identify particularly environmentally friendly products. This evolved into the UNYRAIN ECO line, which is continually tested, improved and further developed. As early as 2013, we started gradually certifying the products of this line with the EU Ecolabel.
In order to comply with our principle of sustainability, we largely source biodegradable raw materials. The use of concentrates reduces the transport volume of deliveries. Further, we are constantly working on the most environmentally friendly formulations for our products.
Finally, the high efficiency of our products leads to lower consumption - both of the product used and of water and energy.
Our packaging materials also meet sustainablity standards and are collected by a professional take-back service (available locally/regionally).
FROM ONE-TIME-USE TO RE-USE!
With our canister washing system, we return the canisters to their intended use rather than to dispose at the recycling centre. This saves valuable resources and reduces CO2 emissions.
We collect the canisters directly from our customers and prepare them for refilling in the professional canister washer. This extends the life cycle of a canister up to 15 times.
The HYGAN Group employs more than 100 people at our four locations in Italy, Austria and Germany. The group‘s turnover in 2023 was 26,5 mio. €.
