The quality of the environment has been a traditional concern of Kalle UK Limited [since the days of Hoechst].

Today, every effort is made to ensure that the methods of production and the disposal of waste maximises recycling opportunities and minimises the risk to the environment. In the UK, waste materials are carefully segregated and, as an example, cardboard is disposed of through a special recycling centre. Kalle's German headquarters has an excellent reputation for care of the environment: viscose casings and sponge cloths are produced from natural materials: wood, cotton and hemp, energy consumption is kept to a minimum and waste water is treated in Kalle's own biological cleaning system.

Kalle UK Limited actively monitors reports on changing legislation from trade associations enabling the company to adopt a best practice approach to managing waste and caring for the environment.

The Kalle group are aware of their responsibility to use natural resources sparingly and make every effort to keep the environment clean for future generations.
