Environmentally Friendly Heating with Wood and Pellets
Wood is a natural resource that is abundantly available in nature. It is the oldest fuel used by humans, dating back about 400,000 years. Today, wood is gaining increasing importance as an energy source once again. It grows relatively quickly and plays a vital role in our environment during its growth (production of oxygen). As a renewable resource, wood has a favorable ecological balance when it is sustainably cultivated and harvested. It is primarily composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Environmental pollutants such as sulfur, chlorine, and heavy metals are only present in small amounts. Wood pellets are mostly made from sawmill by-products or non-sawable industrial wood.
Wood grows as biomass faster than it can be harvested worldwide. When wood naturally decays in the forest, it releases the same amount of CO2 as when the wood is burned in a Max Blank heating device.n
Wood pellets are mostly made from sawdust and wood waste from the sawmill industry, helping to preserve our resources. Heating with wood pellets is just as CO2-neutral as heating with firewood.
Resources / Materials
We focus on the sustainable use of resources in the manufacturing of our products. We ensure the selection of materials that are environmentally friendly and do not cause excessive strain on natural resources. Our production processes are designed to protect the environment while ensuring the production of high-quality products.
At Max Blank, we place great emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly materials. Our stoves and heating systems are made exclusively from the highest quality raw materials, ensuring durability and efficiency.
From the search and testing of raw materials to the finished product, we oversee the entire process to ensure our high-quality standards are met.
Sustainable location in Westheim, Middle Franconia
Our commitment also lies in environmental responsibility and the sustainable use of essential raw materials, both in production and in our products. For example, at Max Blank, around 75% of our electricity needs are met through our own photovoltaic systems, and 85% of the manufacturing air used is purified and returned to its cycle. The preservation of the ecological balance and forests is crucial for a controlled production chain – independently monitored, fully traceable, and guaranteed sustainable – and is just as important to us as everything else.
Immerse yourself in a green oasis of aesthetics and well-being. Our green spaces not only enhance the appearance of our work environment but also promote the health and well-being of our employees. We focus on environmental protection and sustainability. Our green areas absorb CO2, produce oxygen, and support local biodiversity.
Lush plant landscapes beautify the grounds, enhance employee well-being, and create an inspiring environment for a greener, healthier, and more attractive corporate atmosphere.
Animal visitors are also a common sight on our green company grounds, such as our regular guest, the grey heron, at the garden pond.
