Recycling
Waste recycling is carried out on all raw materials (paper, ink, packaging).
Sustainability
- All Tielman facilities aim to be wind powered (Sweden facility is already 100% wind powered)
- Maximizing the use of natural resources (Decreased waste of ingredients and higher output due to functional cups, contribute to sustainability)
- Paper cups allows faster cooking at lower temperatures which saves energy
- Using paper cups eliminates the need for greasing and washing pans, as well as the need to dispose of waste water
