Join us behind the scenes at Cinderella's factory
Energy efficiency and eco-friendly materials
The construction of the factory is a prime example of Norwegian innovation in sustainable production. The facility is built with locally produced concrete, where the sand is sourced from nearby areas, and the reinforcement consists of recycled materials from local sources. The factory walls store heat efficiently and reduce energy consumption. We use an advanced seawater heat pump that draws energy from the fjord via a 2 km cable located just outside the factory walls. The heat pump captures the warmth from the seawater and channels this energy into our water-based heating system. This solution significantly reduces our total energy consumption.
Focus on recycling and waste management
Recycling is a central part of our production process. We continuously work to reduce waste, and all employees contribute to sorting and handling materials. Everything from cardboard and plastic packaging to metal and copper is sorted and processed locally to reduce transportation needs and increase recycling. While we still have to manage some residual waste, like clippings from the bag machine, we are constantly seeking more sustainable solutions.
