Sustainability Report 2015 of the MEGGLE Group

22 less is more 3.1 Input-output balance sheet of the MEGGLE Group 3.1 Input-output balance sheet of the MEGGLE Group Special attention should initially be paid to those flows where savings projects would have the biggest impact: this applies to so-called dried products because they require more than 50% of the total thermal energy consumed by the company. Raw materials are supplied in a liquid or pre-concentrated form. The thickening and drying processes are primarily steam powered. Thanks to a whole package of individual measures, we have been able to reduce the specific steam consumption in this highly-complex thermodynamic process by more than 21% over the past 12 years. Agenda: *) Converted to MWh, less the amount fed into the public grid. 1) Most sites have their own preliminary sewage treatment plants where the pre-cleaned water is sent to the local waste water network; Wasserburg operates its own sewage treatment plant with full waste water cleaning. 2) In biogas, recycling and thermal disposal. 3) Household waste. When we at MEGGLE draw up our balance sheet, we do not just list our assets and liabilities, we also look at environmental protection. For years, we have mapped the flows of materials to Wasserburg, our headquarters and the largest production facility, in the form of an input-output balance sheet. In 2012, we also began charting the most important environment-relevant material flows for the other production sites. 2012 2013 2014 Unit Input Raw materials 1,116,282 1,146,364 1,154,600 t Gas 537,548 557,808 533,387 MWh Electricity/power 57,189 60,559 67,731 MWh Heating oil 1,017 981 1,037 thousand l District heat 11,606 11,426 11,496 MWh Total energy consumption MEGGLE Group *) 592,943 619,121 610,300 MWh Total energy consumption per tonne of product *) 0.937 0.945 0.901 MWh/t Water 4,143 4,313 4,476 million m3 Output Production quantities 632,850 654,953 677,593 t Waste-water 1) 3,023 3,196 3,430 thousand m3 Recyclable waste2) 3,946 4,335 5,668 t Disposable waste3) 2,961 3,348 3,276 t Power (Fed into the public grid) 23,570 20,478 12,680 MWh 201220132014 Unit Raw materials 1,116,2821,146,3641,154,600 t Gas 537,548557,808533,387 MWh Electricity/power 57,18960,55967,731 MWh Heating oil 1,0179811,037 thousand l District heat 11,60611,42611,496 MWh 592,943619,121610,300 MWh 0.9370.9450.901 MWh/t Water 4,1434,3134,476 million m3 Production quantities 632,850654,953677,593 t 3,0233,1963,430 thousand m3 3,9464,3355,668 t 2,9613,3483,276 t Power (Fed into the public grid) 23,57020,47812,680 MWh
