Reducing carbon footprint alongside a supplier

Nolato has been manufacturing coffee machine components for several years. In order to reduce the climate impact of the components, we have, in collaboration with a forward-thinking supplier, significantly reduced emissions without changing materials. This reduction has been achieved as a result of the supplier’s extensive energy efficiency improvements and its transition to renewable electricity in its production of plastic granules.

To manage the technically demanding environment and the high temperatures to which the components are exposed, we have had to use the advanced plastic types polyamide and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Both of these have a relatively high carbon footprint, but thanks to the improvements in our supplier’s production process, we have been able to achieve a 32% reduction for each material.

The reduction is the result of a determined effort over a long period of time – from 2018 to 2024. In 2024, these measures, for this group of components in coffee machines, reduced climate impact by over 2,000 tons of CO2e.
