exploring all the options, an employee from the "Sustainability" strategy group asked the management the decisive question at the turn of the year 2021/2022: "How much longer do you want to wait? We can all [...] Since 1 January 2024, we have no longer produced or sold nitrocellulose lacquers or solvent-based, acid-curing lacquers. This represents an important milestone on the way to our Vision 2030.

PU systems (for coating furniture) in Germany during 2021 was around 10,750,000 ltr/kg. So 1 : 1 replacement of this quantity with water-based lacquer systems could result in saving 10,750,000 kg of CO2 [...] up to 1 kg/m² of coated surface . Okay, this doesn't look like much at first glance, but let's take a closer look: even if you “only” coat 20 m² a day, you’ve already saved 20 kg of CO2. At 100 m² of coated [...] CO2. (Equivalent to the CO2 emissions from a journey covering almost 540,000 km, so almost 14 times around our planet!)
