Shaping tomorrow's sustainability today
Honest packaging for a functioning circular economy





Environmental and climate strategy
Net climate neutrality by taking a holistic approach
The starting point for climate protection measures is the calculation of the Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF). The correct accounting of greenhouse gasses and the compensation of remaining emissions were verified by TÜV Süd in accordance with the internationally recognized ISO 14064 standard and the GHG Protocol model.
In addition, Optima has been using green electricity since 2009 and has been able to reduce the company’s operational climate footprint by 40 percent through additional measures. A further package of measures will reduce this by an additional 25 percent by 2030. Increasing energy and resource efficiency at selected locations and expanding sustainable mobility are important cornerstones for this.

Shape a more sustainable future with us
How we lead by example
Johann Moser, Senior Vice President Strategic Technology, Voith Group
OPTIMA and Voith establish development partnership
Partnership for the development of sustainable paper packaging solutions
The objective of the alliance is to develop sustainable paper packaging solutions. It is the first time that two companies from different phases in the supply chain will be working together on developing environmentally compatible alternatives to plastic packaging.
The two partners are working together to find the best solutions for the future.
“In many areas, we see untapped potential for paper packaging and are looking forward to the close collaboration with Voith,”
Dominik Bröllochs - Group Sustainability Manager, OPTIMA packaging group

Sustainable machine solutions are the future
Conserve resources, optimize efficiency


Compact design enables our customers to double their output per square meter of production area. At the same time, production areas can become considerably smaller. An example of this is the OPTIMA EGS. The footprint of this machine has been reduced by over 40 percent.



Our high-precision "topping-up" dosing process reduces underfilling and overfilling of packages to an absolute minimum, thereby achieving an increase in output of 500,000 cans per year.

Our OPTIMA Total Care life cycle management program maximizes machine life. For instance, predictive maintenance can be used to make full use of the maximum service life of parts subject to wear. Rebuilding and overhaul programs mean that the equipment can be adapted to meet market needs, without having to be completely replaced.

Correct recycling of machinery makes a major contribution to resource conservation. Therefore, as a manufacturer, we offer the option of ending the life cycle of the machine sustainably upon request and returning the individual parts to the material flows in a professional manner – thus benefiting the environment.

UN Sustainable Development Goals
A milestone in integrating environmental and development efforts

At the 2015 World Summit on Sustainable Development held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the 17 "Sustainable Development Goals" were accordingly adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. As a responsible mechanical engineering company, Optima is able to contribute to seven of these goals.


Optima's innovative filling and packaging concepts ensure a long shelf life for products, which means that they can be distributed worldwide. Through our packaging, Optima wants to provide all people with access to food in sufficient quantities.

Both essential products and everyday consumer goods are produced and packaged to the highest standards by our machines.


We are a family-owned company, so at Optima our staff and sustainable business practices are particularly important to us. Our workforce is the keystone of our success.


Sustainably certified
Transparent, honest and traceable

The EcoVadis rating agency is the world’s leading provider of sustainability ratings, with an international network of over 100,000 rated companies. EcoVadis has awarded Optima's commitment to sustainability with the silver medal. The annual rating assesses the areas of environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
