As a manufacturer of metal roll containers and load carriers, Hoza has taken a bold step towards environmentally friendly production and promoting sustainability in the industry. Let's delve into our efforts and commitment to a clean, green future.
Our footprint refers to the direct impact we have on the environment through design, production, and the use of our products. We aim to reduce this handprint as much as possible.
Sustainability begins with the design of our roll containers. Our engineers collaborate closely with the seller and customers to create an innovative and sustainable product. Health, user safety, materials, and recyclability are all taken into account. We also aim to utilize lightweight and smart designs to reduce energy consumption during transport. We consciously choose materials that can be recycled, such as steel and aluminum. Additionally, we maximize the lifespan of our products by performing post-treatments when the product is completed, such as galvanization. Despite the long lifespan of our products, there are times when containers reach the end of their lifecycle. In consultation with the customer, we explore the best solution. Solutions can include retrofitting existing roll containers with new parts or taking over roll containers for our pool or rental system. If reuse is not possible, the materials are carefully separated for recycling, which helps minimize waste streams.
Our handprint revolves around the positive impact we can have by making sustainable choices and forging sustainable partnerships with our customers. We do not only aim to reduce harm to nature but also actively contribute to a more sustainable future. One of our main initiatives is the reuse of bespoke load carriers. By utilizing load carriers multiple times, we minimize waste..Additionally, we offer a rental model for returnable transport items (RTIs), allowing customers to rent their load carriers. This promotes more efficient use of resources and lowers costs.
We are extremely proud of our EcoVadis Gold certification, which places us among the top companies worldwide in terms of sustainability and corporate responsibility. This certification recognizes our commitment to sustainable procurement, environment, ethics, and labor practices.
We are ISO 9001 certified, which underscores our commitment to quality management and customer satisfaction. This certification guarantees that we meet the highest international standards in quality.
Additionally, we are ISO 14001 certified, which means our environmental management systems are recognized. This demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental management, in accordance with international standards.
Additionally, Hoza offers repair and maintenance services including reporting so that you as a customer can gain insight into costs, and we provide advice to prevent damage. Professional repair not only extends the lifespan of your load carriers but also reduces the demand for new raw materials. We also ensure reuse and recycling of load carriers so that discarded products can be taken over by Hoza and used elsewhere or efficiently recycled through disassembly and proper material separation. This completes our circular model and promotes further sustainability. Our products are furthermore developed with a focus on sustainable and ergonomic design, making them not only efficient to use but also minimally impactful on the environment. Finally, we use track and trace technology for the management of all our load carriers, ensuring optimal deployment and accurate management.
Hoza does not view sustainability as a static goal but as a continuous process of improvement and innovation. We regularly conduct internal and external sustainability assessments to optimize our processes and procurement practices. We continue to invest in research and development to discover and implement more sustainable materials and production methods.
