Transforming Waste into Value

Transforming waste into value

At Eltwin Hyper, we take small but meaningful steps toward smarter and more efficient solutions, learning and adapting along the way. Over the past few years, we have witnessed a remarkable increase in demand for our private label products, and this growth has inspired us to develop new solutions. By reducing waste, optimizing resources, and enhancing customer experiences, we are taking responsibility that aligns with our ambition to contribute to the green transition.

Smart packaging for a digital age

One of Eltwin Hyper’s latest initiatives is the integration of QR codes directly onto the product packaging. This modern approach replaces traditional paper-based instructions, providing customers with instant access to detailed product information via a simple scan. Not only does this enhance convenience, but it also significantly reduces paper consumption. Already, approx. 20% of the customers have embraced this digital transition. Additionally, we have optimized packaging by consolidating key warnings and product information into a single, easy-to-read section, making it simpler to manage while reducing unnecessary waste. These efforts alone have led to an impressive 22% reduction in Eltwin Hyper’s paper-based materials across product packaging in 2024.

Waste can be a resource

But the sustainability efforts don’t stop at packaging. At Eltwin Hyper, we have made an investment in an in-house Solder Dross recovery machine. Solder Dross, a byproduct of the wave soldering process in electronics manufacturing, is traditionally lost each year, despite containing valuable solder metal. Now, thanks to our new recovery process, we are recovering 27% of usable solder that would otherwise be discarded - transforming waste into a resource. This initiative not only minimizes waste but also delivers significant cost savings.

Ensuring that our sustainability initiatives do not compromise quality is a top priority. Rigorous testing confirms that our new solder recovery process has no negative impact on product performance, allowing us to uphold the high standards our customers expect while meeting our environmental ambitions. This is a win-win scenario where efficiency, sustainability, and excellence go hand in hand.

Small steps, meaningful change

At Eltwin Hyper, we believe that meaningful change comes from continuous improvements, not overnight transformations. By rethinking the way we design packaging, manage resources and reduce waste, we are gradually shaping a mindset we can bring with us in our business conduct and our approach to manufacturing. We know we don’t have all the answers yet, but we believe that every small step helps us move in the right direction. By embracing innovation and making thoughtful adjustments, we contribute to long-term progress where we learn and evolve along the way.
