towards a
sustainable future
At KOTI, we believe it is important to continually strive forward. We take responsibility for carrying out our production processes and strive to minimize our impact on the environment. As a family business, we are very conscious of the heritage we want to pass on to the generations to come.
Recycling of Materials
An important aspect of our sustainability policy is the promotion of recycling. Since 2012, we have been grinding a portion of residual materials. Residual materials include returned brushes and leftover materials from production. These residual materials are used in the manufacture of new parts. Excess material finds its way to other applications outside of sweeper brush production.
Emissions-
reduction
KOTI strives to minimize environmental impact and is committed to reducing emissions. We invest in energy-efficient production methods and constantly look for ways to reduce our energy consumption. Our truck will soon be using renewable biofuel and all vehicles we operate are hybrid or electric powered.
Power generation through Solar Panels
In line with our commitment to sustainability, we have invested in power generation through solar panels. Our facilities are partially powered by clean, renewable solar energy. We supply power for our own use for 5 days a week. On weekends, the power generated is fed back into the power grid.
Brush refurbishing
Replacing worn KOTI brushes with new fibers allows the core to be reused, reducing waste and lowering costs.
Wear limit
Once the filling material on your KOTI brush reaches the wear limit, you can return the worn brush to KOTI.
Check
We check the overall core structure for any defects, check tolerances and any bearing, and remove the old filling material.
Relocate
After the core construction has been approved, the we refurbish the brush. We remove the old fibres and replace them with new ones. This process is carried out in our specialized factory.
As good as new
You will receive the same core with new filling materials. This is how we reduce our ecological footprint together.
Research and development
KOTI has its own development and testing department for brushes. The cycle of designing, testing, planning, doing and controlling is aimed at improving environmental performance and preventing the waste of raw materials and energy. Our team continuously works to identify new methods and materials that make our products even more sustainable. We collaborate with industry experts and participate in initiatives aimed at reducing the impact of industries on the environment.
Better sweeping result lower load
All of KOTI’s sweeping brushes have been equipped with a patented wear indicator since 2010. In practice, this active control mechanism demonstrably results in a service life extension of approximately 8% to 15%. We check with every delivery whether the sweeping brushes are insufficiently or incorrectly worn. In addition, if required, we organize an annual in-service training course for the drivers to be provided by us free of charge. The course gives drivers the tools to better adjust their machine to achieve better brushing results and longer brush life.
