Environmental Sustainability Carbon Footprint Jacob Holm is committed to lowering our carbon footprint and increasing transparency around our products so that our customers and partners can do the same. We have created the Jacob Holm eCO2-quation app to measure the carbon footprint of all of our existing fabric products and potential fabric products. Additionally, we have pledged to significantly lower the carbon footprint per kg or production at each of our manufacturing facilities worldwide by 2025. More information about these goals and our existing footprint will be available to view here in Q2 2021. Water All Jacob Holm production sites carry out significant water recycling initiatives during the production process to reduce our impact on the limited availability of freshwater on earth. In addition, the production process at the Sontara® Old Hickory, USA site is free from binders, adhesives, and chemical additives. Waste Our production sites are always seeking new solutions for processing waste. They are subject to material recovery through recycling and participate in energy recovery through combustion of heat or energy. For processing waste, our team continuously implements processes to minimize the use of water and energy at all production sites. Initiated in 2009 as part of a vision project to eliminate waste from landfills, Jacob Holm's production site in Soultz, France implemented a Zero Landfill Policy in 2013.
