It encourages us to continue driving the circular transformation with determination and passion,” says Dr. Axel Schweitzer, Chairman and Partner of Interzero<\/strong>. “If you can think it, do it: Together with customers and partners, we want to realize a genuine, sustainable circular economy – and thus counteract the overloading of our planet ever more effectively. A very big thank you to our customers, partners and also our own team.”<\/p>\n Through its analog and digital closed-loop solutions<\/strong> and the ecologically and economically efficient recycling of raw materials, the company achieves clearly measurable environmental effects. For 15 years, scientists from Fraunhofer UMSICHT<\/strong> the concrete impact on climate and resources: according to the study “resources SAVED by recycling,” Interzero saved 8.7 million tons of primary raw materials and around one million tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 alone by recycling around 2.1 million tons of recyclable materials. Without Interzero’s activities – according to calculations by the Global Footprint Network (GFN) – the “Earth Overshoot”<\/strong> limit would have been exceeded 7:16<\/strong> minutes<\/strong> earlier worldwide<\/strong> and 4:20 hours earlier in Germany in 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Via a sister company in Asia, closed-loop concepts from Germany and Europe are increasingly being used there to drive resource conservation with a lot of energy. Interzero’s social commitment is also clearly aimed at sustainable development. One example is the long-standing cooperation with the ALBA BERLIN basketball club. As a sponsor and environmental partner, Interzero supports the multiple German champion and cup winner in becoming a top team in terms of sustainability as well. With success: In the area of sports business, ALBA BERLIN was also nominated for the final round of the German Sustainability Award this year.<\/p>\n The 16th German Sustainability Award is presented together with the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, the DIHK and the WWF to companies with exemplary commitment to sustainable transformation. The award ceremony will be held in D\u00fcsseldorf on November 23, 2023.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_button button_color=”color-263416″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Finterzero.at%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F7%2F2023%2F11%2F2023-10-31-Medien-Information-Interzero-erhalt-Deutschen-Nachhaltigkeitspreis.pdf|” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”572111″]Download DEU media report[\/vc_button][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_button button_color=”color-263416″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Finterzero.at%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F7%2F2023%2F11%2F2023-10-30-Media-Information-ENG-Interzero-German-Sustainability-Award.pdf|” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”164014″]Download media information ENG[\/vc_button][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”171404″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_separator sep_color=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”114130″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”109313″]<\/p>\n About Interzero:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Interzero is one of the leading service providers around the closure of product, material and logistics loops as well as innovation leader in plastics recycling with the largest sorting capacity in Europe.
