Sustainable priorities

Murexin not only stands for outstanding quality and innovation in the field of construction chemicals, but also for a forward-thinking approach to sustainability. Aware of the pressing global environmental problems, Murexin has developed a comprehensive strategy for CO₂ reduction that reflects our responsibility towards the environment. This strategy is based on a range of approaches that are closely interlinked and together pursue the goal of minimizing our ecological footprint and paving a sustainable path into the future.

This includes not only the obvious measures, such as the use of renewable energies, but also the consistent application of state-of-the-art technologies to optimize our production processes and make them as efficient as possible. We also attach great importance to the selection of environmentally friendly raw materials to ensure that our products are not only of high quality, but also have the smallest possible environmental impact.

Sustainable use of resources

One of the pillars of our sustainability strategy is the intensive scrutiny of all raw materials used in our products. From the very beginning, we have attached great importance to the selection of our materials.

Sustainable production process

By using state-of-the-art technologies and continuously monitoring the production process, we ensure that our products not only meet the highest quality standards, but are also manufactured in a resource-efficient manner.

Ongoing research for greater sustainability

In our competence center, dedicated employees work continuously on the development of innovative products that are not only effective, but also minimize the environmental impact and can be used in a user-friendly manner.

Sustainable solution for CO₂ reduction

Our comprehensive strategy includes the use of renewable energy through our photovoltaic system, efficient production processes, the use of environmentally friendly raw materials and continuous research and innovation to develop more environmentally-friendly products. We also attach great importance to proximity to our customers. By strategically positioning our production sites in geographical proximity to our customers, we significantly reduce delivery routes and thus minimize the environmental impact of long transport distances.

Sustainable partnerships

Long-term and reliable partnerships, characterized by transparency and reliability, are crucial to our success. This philosophy applies both to external partnerships and to our employees, who are the foundation of our success. As a leading Austrian business, we assume responsibility as an employer and economic driver in the region.

Sustainable use of energy

We obtain some of our energy for production from our own photovoltaic system and we are also connected to the local district heating network. Our charging stations for our company-owned electric vehicles are also powered by the energy from our PV system, which further underscores our holistic commitment to sustainability.

Sustainability at Murexin, it lasts.

Sustainability in every area

At Murexin, we go beyond manufacturing and are actively committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. Our efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions are an integral part of our sustainability strategy.

We promote the recycling and reuse of materials wherever possible. By implementing cyclical economic principles, we contribute to the reduction of waste and resource consumption.

Sustainable packaging

In line with the principles of the cyclical economy, we are focussing on sustainable packaging and are gradually replacing conventional containers with tubs made from high-quality recycled plastic. This innovative measure not only enables the reuse of valuable raw materials, such as packaging from the yellow bag or upcycled secondary raw materials, but also contributes to a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. This changeover is an important step on our way to even more sustainable production processes and a valuable contribution to climate protection. Our long-term vision is to switch completely to recycled plastic in order to continuously increase the positive environmental impact.

Sustainable product innovations

Murexin attaches great importance to sustainable product innovations that have a positive impact on the environment and efficiency. Our products are characterized by their high yield, which leads to an impressive area coverage and at the same time reduces handling, transport and packaging waste. Ultra-fast application not only enables projects to be completed in the shortest possible time, but also reduces costs and CO₂ emissions. For example, our high-quality products for substrate preparation ensure even surfaces and help to save on adhesives and materials. The exceptional durability of our products helps to conserve resources, as durable structures require fewer repairs and less material.

Together we can create sustainability.

Murexin's employees are a key driving force behind the implementation of our sustainability strategy. They play an active role in innovation development by working on environmentally-friendly product solutions. Through their involvement in production, they contribute to resource efficiency by monitoring material consumption and minimizing waste. Training initiatives ensure that employees understand sustainable practices and can integrate them into their daily tasks. As advocates of renewable energies, they contribute to energy efficiency and the use of sustainable energy sources. They also support the promotion of a sustainable corporate culture and embody the values of Murexin. All in all, our employees and their commitment play a pivotal role in the realization of our vision of a sustainable future.

Products with Environmental Product Declaration

The Type III environmental declaration is made up of independently verified data from life cycle assessments, inventory inventories or information modules that comply with the ISO 14040 series of standards.

An EPD thus provides quantified environmental information from the life cycle of a product or service, enabling comparisons between products or services with the same function. The following products have currently received an Environmental Product Declaration:

The most important questions about sustainability at Murexin.

Murexin understands sustainability to mean responsibility for the environment, people, quality and the future by manufacturing environmentally-friendly products that can be used in a processor-friendly manner and by implementing resource-saving practices.

By sustainable construction we mean realizing building projects with minimum resource consumption, efficient use of energy and durable materials, as well as taking ecological aspects into account.

A CO₂ footprint measures the amount of greenhouse gases, in particular CO₂, released during the manufacture, use and disposal of products or services. We equip our products with so-called sample EPDs. This Environmental Product Declaration describes construction products in terms of their environmental impact on the basis of ecological assessments. EPDs form a basis for the sustainability assessment of buildings. We also deal with Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions within the company and apply the levers for reduction to the sources that release the most climate-damaging gases in the value creation chain.

Important environmental labels in the construction chemicals sector include the “Blue Angel” eco-label, the GEV Emicode® seal, the Austrian Ecolabel and product labelling indicating that products are solvent-free or free from migratory substances, for example. Many of our products bear one or more of these labels.

Murexin products are sustainable because they are resource-efficient, utilize renewable energies, use environmentally-friendly raw materials and combine high performance with a long service life. In addition, our production facilities are close to our customers, minimizing the environmental impact of long transport routes.

Sustainability and construction chemistry go together by combining environmentally-friendly production, innovative product development and resource-saving construction methods to minimize the environmental impact.
