Finally, the team looked at the environmental impact of their products in use. For the Star cooler line, they successfully swapped the standard R134a refrigerant gas for R290. This transition to an eco-friendlier gas ensures
that the product’s environmental footprint is reduced long after it leaves the factory doors.
At Micro Matic Oprema, the transition toward improved sustainability is being treated as a comprehensive operational overhaul, moving beyond simple energy swaps to a holistic “green” business model. Their story is one of
self-su昀케ciency, digital transformation, and extending the lifecycle of every product they touch.
• The facility has taken direct control of its energy future by installing Solar Power systems to produce green
electricity on-site. While this internal production is currently supplemented by the national grid to meet the high
demands of manufacturing, it marks a signi昀椀cant step toward energy independence.
• This push for e昀케ciency extends into the very air the factory breathes. The team implemented a Compressed
Air Savings initiative, identifying and sealing leaks in the high-pressure systems that power industrial tools that
often yield some of the highest energy returns for the lowest investment.
The Digital and Material Evolution
• Internally, MM Oprema is stripping away the physical clutter of the past through a dedicated Paper Reduction
and Digitalization strategy. By moving work昀氀ows into digital environments, they are not only saving trees but
also driving an Improvement of Data Collection. This granular data maturity is critical for the Group, as it allows
for more precise carbon accounting and the elimination of the “inherent uncertainties” found in earlier reports.
Circular Economy and Supply Chain Leadership
• Perhaps the most impactful chapter of the MM Oprema story is the Expansion of the Refurbishment Department. By focusing on repairing and renewing equipment rather than simply manufacturing new units, the site
is championing a circular economy that keeps high-intensity materials like stainless steel and aluminum in use
for longer.
• Their in昀氀uence now extends beyond their own walls. MM Oprema has begun to set requirements for suppliers
to work with CO2e data. By demanding transparency and sustainability commitments from their partners, they
are helping to clean up the Group’s Scope 3 emissions, which currently account for 99.4% of the total carbon
footprint.
• The site is transforming how its people and goods move by transitioning the local 昀氀eet to Hybrid and Electric
Vehicles. Combined with the adoption of Green Energy for charging, this ensures that both Scope 1 and Scope
3.7 is aligned with the Group’s decarbonization path.
Greening transportation:
• Micro Matic Luxembourg is replacing its 昀氀eet of high-emission vehicles with electric alternatives.
• Micro Matic Vinservice is also planning to replace its 昀氀eet with lower-emission transport options.
• Air transport is carefully planned or changed to more sustainable solutions; each air shipping case should be
con昀椀rmed by responsible managers.
SCOPE 3 REVIEW
At Group level, Scope 3 emissions show a downward trend when Scope 3, Category 2 (Capital Goods) is excluded.
We interpret this development conservatively, as the Group continues to enhance its calculation methodology and
the accuracy of purchase item classi昀椀cation. Further methodological improvements remain, and in the coming
years Micro Matic plan to invest in upgraded calculation systems to increase data quality and the reliability of
