Sustainability activities at Coroflex
Clear goals – concrete measures Coroflex contributes significantly to the Coroplast Group's sustainability strategy
In order to remain successful in the future, the entire Coroplast Group, and thus also the Coroflex business unit, relies on a carefully thought-out sustainability strategy. The basis for this key task is a materiality analysis that assesses the need for action on the central issues and thus gives us the following clear priorities:
- the implementation of a Group-wide climate strategy
- the further development of our products
- the use of energy- and resource-efficient measures
- transparent reporting to our customers and stakeholders
The assessment considers both our internal view and external perspectives from various stakeholders such as partners, employees or customers.
Follow the green line
Under this slogan, Coroflex is focusing on the following measures and projects as part of its sustainability initiative:
-
Biomass-balanced materials
We want to gradually replace the fossil materials in our products with biobased materials (BMB). We are working with our suppliers on an alternative to thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) – so that we can produce our cables more resource-efficiently in the future.
-
Avoiding food-based raw materials
In the research and development of bio-based solutions for our products, we largely avoid raw materials that are made of foods, such as maize.
-
More copper from sustainable sources
We are constantly working on increasing the percentage of recycled copper used for the conductors in our wires and cables. This helps to save energy – while retaining the same product quality.
-
Reusable transport reels
We have replaced our single-use wooden transport reels with recyclable and reusable plastic reels. This prevents wood from going to waste, conserves natural resources, reduces weight – and thus saves fuel during transport.
-
Preventing waste
We already regranulate our thermoplastic waste and are working on steadily increasing the percentage that is regranulated. This prevents waste and returns our high-quality materials to the production process – the circular economy in action.
-
Lighter products
Our cable solutions help to reduce the weight and size of the end product. Thanks to special production processes, they consume less and less raw materials, making them lighter and more flexible – and nevertheless robust.
-
Healthier products
We largely develop talcum-free wires and cables and do not use polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in our silicone processing. This helps protect human health – both during production and further processing.
-
Less cleaning work
By largely avoiding the use of talcum powder in our products, we reduce the need for cleaning of our machines and conserve water and human resources – without compromising on manual stripping.
As a development partner, Coroflex is setting trends in electromobility with resource-saving, durable cables and wires. In this way, we are contributing significantly to sustainable mobility.
