Turning waste heat into useful energy – Every change adds up

Did you know that a significant amount of energy is lost as waste heat in industrial processes, data centers, and even wastewater treatment plants? Instead of letting this valuable resource go to waste, we can harness it to heat our buildings efficiently—reducing energy costs and carbon footprints at the same time.

What is Waste Heat Utilization?
When excess heat is reused within a system, it’s called heat recovery. When used beyond the system—such as heating buildings—it’s waste heat utilization. Either way, it’s a game-changer for sustainability.

Why Does It Matter?

  • Reduces carbon emissions
  • Increases efficiency of industrial processes
  • Part of sustainable production
  • Cuts energy costs

Our production units use the waste heat to heat our buildings, as an example Austria utilises 100% of the usable waste heat. They primarily use it for defrosting the cooling units and drying the air.

In Dällikon Switzerland the existing heat recovery system currently receives an upgrade to further reduce the fossil fuel consumption.

Every change adds up: This is the motto under which we inform about various sustainability projects at Eisberg – the big ones, but also the small ones. Because we are convinced: A sustainable approach does not always require major changes. Many small measures contribute to operating in a noticeably sustainable way.
