The ElektroG3 law requires disposal information in paper form for each electronic device. For Insta products alone, this translates to 1.6 million additional leaflets annually, approximately 4.2 tons of paper. Our Documentation team found a way to add disposal information to existing manuals, eliminating the need for extra leaflets. We are currently exploring possibilities to update more manuals, aiming to save even more paper in the future. This project exemplifies our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental responsibility. Small steps can make a significant impact.
On August 1, twelve new trainees started their training at Insta - that's a record! In previous years, the number of trainees per year was always lower.

We will continue to collect crown caps in the company and are sure to top the 51 kg next time.
In the last two weeks, numerous filled tubs and boxes of food donations and hygiene articles were collected for the Tafel Lüdenscheid.

Together with local companies and the regional association of South Westphalia of the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe, we were able to support a in the realisation of the interactive colouring and working brochure "First Aider of Tomorrow". 450 brochures were handed over to the kindergartens in our hometown of Lüdenscheid and now help to convey important contents and behavioural tips for emergency and first aid situations to children at an early age in a playful way. It is important to us that help can be given quickly in an emergency. That is why 129 people, almost one third of our staff, are trained as first aiders.
