The importance of sustainability in winter maintenance

Environmentally friendly gritting agents

Environmentally friendly gritting agents play a crucial role in EQQO’ s winter services to remove snow and ice safely and effectively without harming the environment. In contrast to conventional road salt, which can have a negative impact on water, plants and animals, we rely on sustainable alternatives with environmentally friendly gritting agents.

One promising option is salt-free gritting materials such as sand, gravel or granules, which have no negative environmental impact. These materials provide a non-slip surface and increase safety on sidewalks and roads without harming groundwater or vegetation.

Low-emission vehicles

Our commitment to environmentally friendly mobility is part of our holistic approach to sustainability.

The use of low-emission vehicles enables us to significantly reduce CO2 emissions during our winter service operations. In this way, we contribute to climate protection and help to improve air quality.

Optimized route planning

Our precise route planning not only allows us to react quickly to changes in the weather, but also to minimize fuel consumption and reduce our CO2 emissions.

The efficient and intelligent planning of our deployment routes is a central component of our service to guarantee you as a commercial customer first-class and timely snow clearance.

Dispose of gritting material correctly ...

… So geht’s

The professional disposal of gritting materials is an important step in protecting the environment and preventing water and ground coverings from harmful effects. When disposing of gritting materials, a number of important aspects should be taken into account to ensure environmentally friendly and safe handling.

Choose environmentally friendly gritting materials

It is advisable to choose environmentally friendly alternatives when selecting gritting materials.

No overdosing

It is important not to use excessive amounts of grit. Moderate use prevents unnecessary environmental pollution and helps to reduce the amount of grit that needs to be disposed of.

Removal of residues

After the winter service, it is crucial to remove excess grit and residues. This prevents the grit from entering the sewer system when it rains and ultimately ending up in bodies of water.

Separation of grit and waste

Grit should be separated from other waste and collected in designated containers.

Sustainability in winter service - your questions

The sustainability certificate is an award that companies receive for their sustainable and environmentally friendly practices and efforts. It confirms that the company meets certain criteria and standards in line with environmental protection.

The sustainability certificate is usually awarded by independent certification bodies or environmental organizations that are specially commissioned to audit a company’s sustainability performance.

Ensuring CO2 offsetting in winter services is a central component of our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. To achieve this important objective, we implement various measures and strategies:

  1. CO2 balancing
  2. Energy efficiency
  3. Use of sustainable gritting agents
  4. Continuous improvement

Your desire for sustainability is important to us and we are proud to offer an environmentally friendly winter service.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection, we therefore also use environmentally friendly gritting materials that have a lower impact on the environment than conventional gritting materials.

These include, for example:

  • Natural gritting agents
  • Environmentally friendly salt alternatives
  • Magnesium chloride
  • Brine solutions

We use a variety of recycling measures for our winter maintenance materials to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable practices. After the winter period, we collect excess grit such as sand or gravel and prepare it for reuse. In addition  we reuse brine solutions that were used to combat ice in a closed-loop system. Our packaging materials are also environmentally friendly and recyclable.

Yes, sustainable gritting agents are generally also suitable for sensitive surfaces. In fact, environmentally friendly gritting agents are often specially developed to minimize the impact on sensitive surfaces.

For sensitive areas such as green spaces, gardens, natural stone surfaces or bodies of water, it is particularly important to use gritting agents that do not leave any harmful residues or damage the environment. Sustainable gritting agents offer us a gentle yet effective way of combating slipperiness and ensuring safety without damaging sensitive surfaces.
