Innovations FORESTADENT believes that innovations are crucial to corporate success. We promote innovation through: Researching and developing product solutions for effective treatment Our extensive knowledge network of orthodontists, renowned opinion leaders and specialist groups Further developing and continuously improving products based on scientific studies and investigations Exchanging knowledge with our product users e.g. at conferences and our FORESTADENT symposia For the environment – Heat recovery The heat generated during product manufacture through the use of sintering, debinding and annealing furnaces as well as injection molding machines is recovered and used for the heating circuit of the new company building and the ground floor of the old company building. For the environment – Closed loop recycling The raw material required for the injection molding process is recycled so that production residues are fed back into the production cycle. For the environment – Avoiding, reducing and recycling waste We act in line with the principle of avoiding, reducing and recycling waste. Avoiding waste: we save on e.g. packaging where possible Reducing waste: by using state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies (MIM and CIM processes) Recycling waste: all waste in the company is separated, returned to the appropriate recycling loop and recycled For the environment – Planning the new building Planning the new building (2012 to 2017) according to the German Energy Saving Ordinance valid at that time (EnEV 2009); implementation enabled energy requirements to be cut by 20%.
