Our current generation of sustainable 
ecos systems
Responsible product design
Since design is the first step in making the best use of resources across the entire development and production process, we take utmost care of it from the start.
Our aim is to completely remove single-use plastic components from our products with the help of eco-design methodologies and life-cycle analyses (LCAs).
eco-design methodology 
No single use plastic
Raw material sourcing
Suppliers are carefully selected to comply with ISO 14001 standards in Environmental & Energy Management.
The majority of parts are sourced locally. Thereby emissions from transportation are minimized. Our products use many stainless steel parts that are all originating from energy-efficient steel mills.

Product manufacturing and waste accounting
Negligible emissions during the production process in our factories.
Full waste accounting according to ISO 14001 standard is in place. ecos systems is managing, separating, and properly disposing of waste.

Packaging and distribution
We are shifting from wooden crates towards recycled carton boxes for packaging our products.
No single-use plastics are used in our packaging or in our suppliers’ packaging. We are auditing our distributors methods to further reduce their packaging.

Product use
Our electronic key cabinets use less than 100 KWh per year. That’s less than the most energy efficient washing machine on the market (2022).
This is made possible by having developed an energy-saver mode. All non-security relevant functions such as alarms and sensors are using less energy.

End-of-life
Our values as a family-run business are to focus on the long-term. Therefore our electronic key cabinets, lockers, and terminals have a lifetime of ~20 years. See our long-term thinking here: Nursing Services Klasen
Repairability is ensured by providing customers with spare parts for up to 10 years.
A self-repair possibility is given to our customers as it avoids costly technician intervention and CO² emissions.

Data center operations
New methods, such as increasing supply air temperatures and collecting water from rooftops to minimize water use, are being evaluated across all of our data center operations.
Additionally, for nine months on average each year, outside air serves as the principal source of cooling. Only when further cooling is necessary does water come into play.

Organizational operations
No water is required to internally manufacture and produce our products, and water is only consumed for sanitary facilities. So we are already in a better position to fulfill our commitment.
To further save water throughout our value chain, we now intend to collect, analyze and select our suppliers based on their water consumption and recycling strategy.
