Values & Sustainability
Zero Single Use Plastic.
Ornamin exclusively develops and produces solely sustainable reusable products with meaningful, additional benefits that are reusable as well as recyclable. In order to produce in a responsible, ecologically and ethically sustainable manner, we design all our processes in an ecologically sensible way. We strongly reject the waste of resources caused by the production of disposable or single-use products.
Sustainable Products: Rethinking instead of throwing away
Climate neutral company
Awarded since 2021
ORNAMIN was certified as a climate-neutral company on August 17, 2022. Based on the CO2 footprint for 2021, 912 tons of CO2 were retroactively compensated. In 2022, we can already tell that the amount to be offset will already be less than 500 tons. The CO2 emissions are offset by investing in recognized climate protection projects that support the UN sustainability goals of Agenda 2023. These projects include energy supply in the Indian state of Uttaranchal with sustainable energy generation through a run-of-river power plant. New measures have already been implemented for 2022 and many more are planned, as well as the conversion to eco-gas and electricity, expansion of the in-house photovoltaic system and further conversion of the company vehicle fleet to hybrid and e-mobility.
In addition, ORNAMIN can now count itself among the members of the climate initiative "Together Climaneutral 2030" of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ostwestfalen zu Bielefeld and the Chamber of Commerce Lippe zu Detmold, as well as the economy of OWL. These want to show that the economy is quite capable and also willing to set a good example in terms of climate protection.
"Having archieved this award, we are aming straight away for an even better arward", says Managing Director Dr. Holger von der Emde in this regard. "We are always working on becoming even more sustainable."
Honestly Sustainable
Sustainable on the go
2GO
ORNAMIN develops and produces sustainable 2GO solutions that last significantly longer than single-use products thanks to the high-quality plastic. This way, the durable reusable cups and bowls become a constant companion in everyday life, which are not only easy on the wallet, but also help the environment and avoid waste.
Energy management system & solar energy
Energy
To optimise and improve energy efficiency, ORNAMIN uses an energy management system that is regularly audited externally. Energy savings also result from the use of machine waste heat, the photovoltaic system and the low processing temperatures of thermoplastic plastics. These are only approx. 200 °C. For comparison: glass is processed at approx. 800 °C and porcelain even at over 1,000 °C.

Highly efficient machines & vehicles
Technology
All machines are cooled in a closed cooling circuit system with well water. This enables a large saving of valuable drinking water during production. When selecting new machines, attention is paid to the highest possible energy efficiency and user-friendliness. CO2 limits for company vehicles are bindingly regulated in the company manual. Vehicles with natural gas or hybrid drive are also used.
CO² savings in various impact categories
Environmental Certificate
By participating in the dual system, ORNAMIN makes a valuable contribution to climate protection. By recycling sales packaging, ORNAMIN has saved a correspondingly large amount of CO² in various areas in 2020, filtering 2,974 m² of forest out of the air in one year.

100% Made in Germany
Loyal to location out of conviction
Made in Germany
From development to production and distribution: All processes take place in Germany at our headquarters in Minden (Westphalia). This also applies to recycling: discarded products are returned to the production cycle in Minden and used for further processing for new products.
Raw Material of the 21st Century
They are the source of innovations that contribute to sustainability, safety, longer life and better performance. Reusable products made of plastic are the sustainable alternative. Due to their durability, they make a significant contribution preserve the environment and resources unlike disposable products.
