A. Ebbecke Verfahrenstechnik AG is committed to environmental protection – supporting the turtle hospital at Key Marathon, Florida

The raw material manufacturers and processors are particularly responsible for the environmentally friendly use and manufacture of packaging containers made of plastic and for the use of microplastics.

Waste that is washed into the sea is always a problem for the oceans on our planet and for the animals that live in them. Turtles swallow pieces of plastic and debris floating in the sea, get entangled in nets or plastic threads or are injured by ships transporting them and their propellers.

In order to make a small contribution here, the company A. Ebbecke Verfahrenstechnik AG not only supports the world’s only turtle hospital in Key Marathon, Florida, but has also adopted an injured turtle that would die without the permanent help of the Turtle Hospital. This is exemplary for many other turtles that suffer a similar fate.

Our tortoise is called MONTEL and can be medically cared for and fed in a spacious sea saltwater pool because our company bears the costs. Montel lives there with 20 other turtles who have had similar fates. Montel is blind in one eye and was severely disabled and debilitated by cancer. In the turtle hospital, the turtle was stabilized with a cancer operation. Montel is now swimming happily in the pool and only has trouble orienting himself due to the eye defects.

We visit Montel every year. As a customer, you are welcome to visit Montel in the turtle hospital in Key Marathon. Guided tours are possible there. We see this, even on a small scale, as an important contribution by our company to drawing attention to the problem of marine pollution and, as processors of raw materials, we feel that we have a special responsibility here.
