We take responsibility

Material changeover for simple sustainability!

Society and the economy are on the brink of change and today need new solutions to conserve natural resources and protect the climate .

We take responsibility - for future generations and are now making protective elements from recycled plastic to the new standard. Accordingly, we have gradually converted our standard range to our sustainable alternatives made from post-consumer recyclate and expanded it for our customers by a further 2,000 items in yellow, blue and many other colors.

Here we explain what sustainable plastic is, what exactly the changeover means and how you can benefit from it.

100% post
Consumer recyclate

include our most sustainable protective elements, which therefore also conserve up to 100% of resources.These articles have up to 45% less CO2 emissions compared to new products and can be fully returned to the material cycle after use. Our articles with such a high PCR content have been awarded the environmental seal Blue Angel since 2020. The materials PCR-PE and PCR-PE-HD fall into this category.

The
recycling mix

is a mixture of predominantly
post-consumer recycled material (PCR) and virgin material, as a result of which the protective elements have a significantly lower CO2 impact compared to the virgin material variant and also save fossil resources. Thanks to the proportion of new goods, we can produce the articles in different, familiar colors despite the high degree of sustainability.

Highest quality with lower CO2 emissions impresses our customers.

Complete switch to recycling protection solutions

"The decisive factor for us was that the protective solutions from PCR provide the usual high Pöppelmann quality. We thoroughly tested whether the recycled protective elements offered the same reliable protection to the plugs or contacts of our electronic components as articles made from virgin material. We were able to convince ourselves that the recycled articles fulfil all these requirements very well. Pöppelmann KAPSTO® supported us as usual with uncomplicated and, above all, constructive service, so that we quickly arrived at solutions that met our requirements."

Recycling protective elements for hydraulic pumps

"When Pöppelmann KAPSTO® presented the resource-saving protective elements to us, we were immediately convinced by the concept. After all, the products are intended for single use in our company and so we also asked ourselves how we could achieve more sustainability here. So far, we use nine different protective elements made of recycled material. The product properties, which do not differ from articles made of virgin material, have convinced us."

Conservation of resources.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION

The future belongs to the circular economy.

Recyclate production.

Used plastic products that have gone through a life cycle, such as our caps and plugs, are processed into recyclate.

Production.

The recyclate produced is used for the production of new caps and plugs.

Utilization.

The recycled plastic caps and plastic plugs are then used to protect components.

Repatriation.

After use, the items can be disposed of via an external service provider or directly via Pöppelmann.

Sorting.

The caps and plugs are then sorted by type of plastic and can be reused for the production of recyclate.

Sustainability all along the line.

To protect the climate and conserve resources, we not only produce resource-conserving protective elements, we are also focusing more and more on sustainable alternatives throughout the company and especially in our supply chain.

From the procurement ...

We rely on recycled materials made from recycled plastic right from the procurement stage, which are then added back into the cycle. Here we benefit from years of experience from our own recycling and can therefore have a positive influence on the quality of the post-consumer recyclate. The procurement process is accompanied by our quality assurance, e.g. during the incoming goods inspection.

... about the production ...

Since the introduction of our environmental management system in 1996, we have continuously improved our energy efficiency in particular through focused energy monitoring, the introduction of heat recovery systems and the procurement of energy-efficient machines. Since 2021, we have relied on a high proportion of green electricity in our energy mix for our production, significantly reducing our CO2 footprint once again. In addition, leaner production processes have been integrated, which fundamentally reduce our reject rate and ensure more effective material utilization through recycling mills directly on the machine.

... right through to recycling.

All PCR articles manufactured by us are recyclable. You can simply contact a recycling company in your region or us to close the material cycle. This tried-and-tested process not only reduces your company's CO2 footprint, but also conserves natural resources and protects the climate.
