maxit at "Woche der Umwelt" (Week of the Environment) in Berlin
Federal President and DBU invited to innovation show
The maxit Group was part of the ‘Week of the Environment’ in the park of Bellevue Palace in Berlin on 4 and 5 June. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) invited visitors to an attractive specialist programme, exciting discussions and a major innovation show on the subject of a sustainable future. Further information is available here: www.woche-der-umwelt.de (in German language).
As part of the ‘Week of the Environment’ in Berlin, the maxit Group presented a chemical- and plastic-free alternative to conventional building materials: the ‘maxit strohpanel’. As a sustainable lime-straw plaster base board, the panel is ideal for interior drywall construction, while as a straw insulation board it can also be used for interior and exterior façade insulation. The ‘maxit stohpanel’ therefore represents a practical, sustainable solution for current challenges in construction - and has met with approval. "Concrete solutions to pressing environmental problems are more important than ever. The park at Bellevue Palace offered the exhibitors a unique atmosphere in which to present them to a nationwide audience,’ says DBU Secretary-General Alexander Bonde.
Around 190 exhibitors, future topics on a large stage and more than 70 specialist forums
A total of around 190 exhibitors presented their innovations and solutions for greater environmental protection at the ‘Week of the Environment’ 2024 in the park of Bellevue Palace, the official residence of the Federal President. A high-calibre jury from the worlds of society, business and science reviewed around 400 applications in a nationwide call for entries - including those from the maxit Group. The innovation show is dedicated to highly topical aspects of climate, environmental and species protection: on 4 and 5 June, discussions and a talk by the Federal President with young people on the main stage as well as more than 70 specialist forums provided fresh impetus and solutions. ‘It's about the central challenges of our time,’ said Bonde. Topics discussed included climate neutrality and energy security, hydrogen technology, biodiversity and resource conservation, sustainable change and social cohesion. Other topics included education, digitalisation, infrastructure and the economy.
Seventh edition of ‘Week of the Environment’
The ‘Week of the Environment’ was launched in 2002 by the then Federal President Johannes Rau and has since been organised together with the Osnabrück-based German Federal Environmental Foundation. This year, the seventh edition of the event took place in the park of Bellevue Palace, as it did last year, and was an inspiration for a sustainable future for all participants.
