Renewable Resources

We are experimenting with renewable raw materials that can replace petrochemical raw materials in our elastomer compounds. Bio-polymers form the basis of our new materials, and carbon black can be substituted by wood-based fillers, for example.

Recycling

Rubber waste, i.e., defective products and the sprues and burrs produced during the injection molding process, is normally incinerated. Our aim is to use them as a resource for new compounds in a recycling management system.

Environmental and Climate Protection

Image

We review our carbon footprint with an annual CO2 balance sheet and regularly initiate new projects that enable us to reduce our CO2 consumption. For example, our production at our company headquarters has been almost 100 percent emissions free since 2021 thanks to green electricity (according to Scope 1 & 2, GHG Protocol).

We are committed to proactively combatting climate change and the damage to our ecosystems. Sustainable use of resources and consistent recycling of valuable materials are a matter of course for us. Our products also contribute to environmental protection through their sealing function. We regularly educate our employees on energy and environmental issues, thus creating awareness and sensitivity for these formative topics.
