Environmental and Climate Protection at Folex
At its production sites in Germany and Switzerland, Folex focuses on reducing energy and raw material consumption as well as emissions from manufacturing processes.
Key areas of focus include technical improvements to production facilities, the evaluation of materials used, and the collection of relevant energy and emissions data.
Our Transformation Plan
In 2024, Folex adopted a transformation plan outlining measures to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. These include:
- Optimizing coating processes and exhaust air treatment
- Evaluation and implementation of measures to reduce solvent consumption
- Gradually transitioning our vehicle fleet to electric vehicles
- Using district heating to heat our buildings
- Establishing an energy monitoring and management system to systematically record and analyze energy consumption CO₂ emissions
The transformation plan sets out a target to reduce CO₂ emissions by 40% by 2030, as well as the long-term objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2045. Achieving these targets depends on the implementation of the planned measures and other relevant conditions.

Products and Materials
As part of its product development activities, Folex evaluates the use of alternative raw materials and materials containing recycled content.
One example is Folacoat Pure, a coating plate for offset printing. It consists of a polymer containing a proportion of renewable raw materials and a polyester carrier containing recycled material.
These statements refer specifically to the materials mentioned and do not constitute a claim regarding the environmental performance of the product as a whole.
Production in Germany and Switzerland
Folex operates production facilities in Germany and Switzerland. Manufacturing processes are subject to the applicable legal requirements, including those relating to occupational safety and environmental protection.
Information about our measures, projects and development objectives is provided on the basis of available documentation.
