Dr. Weigert – responsibility for the environment

As a developer and manufacturer of cleaning agents and disinfectants, we feel particularly obliged to apply maximum environmental awareness to our production and our products themselves. We take this responsibility very seriously in the context of an economically and environmentally oriented corporate philosophy and culture.


This naturally includes compliance with all relevant environment-related regulations. After all, companies that choose Germany as a production location for cleaning agents and disinfectants are automatically subject to very stringent environmental requirements. In many areas, the legally required standard is actually exceeded. In this respect, the company naturally also meets all criteria for certification under DIN 14001/Environmental management systems. But that is not enough: In many areas of production, building management, energy recovery and recycling, Dr. Weigert is obliged to submit results which show that environmental protection and preservation are pursued on a long-term basis.

  • State-of-the-art fire water retention systems for safety in the case of an emergency.
  • Chemical-resistant, sealed surfaces throughout the production area prevent hazardous substances from contaminating the ground water
