Polstar is a window company based in Poland that sells windows and garden equipment in Sweden. They were interviewed about their environmental practices. Polstar recycles discarded products and windows can be recycled. They use energy efficient windows and district heating to reduce energy usage. While they transport a large volume of goods by truck from Poland to Sweden, they ensure the transporters have environmental policies. Potential areas for improvement include using energy saving light bulbs and printing on both sides of paper to reduce energy and paper usage.

Interview with a company
1. Interview with a company.
We have interviewed Johan Bergren who works at a
company called Polstar. Polstar is a windowcompany but
they sell more things than just windows, for example garden
equipment.
We asked him questions about how the company works with
the inviroment.
2. Polstar does not use what we call green
electricity.
To save energy they have underfloor
heating and district heating in there
buildings, energy saving windows, and
lower temeprature in the garner.
3. Polstar recycling discarded products,
and all the windows they sell can be
recycled.
Polstar do not use any water when they
do there products, so they only use
water to the toilet.
The biggest energy consumer they
have is a freezer that they have to keep
there lunch in.
4. They do not have any environmental
certificate or any environmental policy
but the staff has been at an
invironmental education.
Johan thinks that polstar is good to
recycling products and every window
they sell are energy efficient so the
household which by windows from
polstar will save energy.
5. Polstar is a company who have there
factory in polen but they sell the
windows here in sweden. They use
trucks to get the windows from polen to
sweden. They transport much, becuase
they transport all the goods they work
with. But it is good becuase they use
only transporters who have an
environmental policy.
6. One thing that is worse is that they do
not use energysawing bulbs. So to
reduce there energy consumption they
can start use energysawing bulbs. And
they use a lot of paper so they could
save more energy if they write on both
side of the papers, end when they print
out something they also can have text
on both side of the paper.
