With a new photovoltaic system, Testrut has been relying on solar power from the roof of the company/warehouse building in Wesel since March 2021. The modern high-performance modules generate green electricity that will also be used to charge electric vehicles.
Against the background of climate change and the associated reduction of CO2 emissions, Testrut is thus investing in renewable energies - with the use of solar energy. From a bird's eye view, it can be seen that this is an impressive area on the flat roof of the company/warehouse building.
Testrut (DE) GmbH fulfils the legal obligation of European packaging disposal in accordance with Directive 94/62/EC and thus supports the European objectives for harmonisation in the disposal of packaging and packaging waste, the improvement of environmental quality and the promotion of reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of packaging waste.
