Waste & Circular Economy
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important when selecting materials during product design. It is no longer sufficient to only consider the material’s properties, ease of manufacturing, cost, and other attributes relevant to its application areas. It is now essential to evaluate the material’s impact on the environment as well.
All materials and end products have an environmental footprint that comes from their manufacturing, processing, design, durability, and reusability.
It is, however, possible to lower the materials’ environmental footprint through smarter production technologies, recyclability, material longevity, biodegradability, and circular economy approaches.
How can we help you?
If you are developing a new product or want to improve the environmental footprint of an existing one, we can support your team at every stage of the product design and development process. This includes initial material screening, material resource efficiency, recyclability, end-of-life treatment, and related business case development.

Mechanical Recycling
Companies can actively participate in mechanical recycling by establishing collection programs for recyclables, collaborating with recycling facilities to process collected materials, and incorporating recycled content into their manufacturing processes. Embracing mechanical recycling not only reduces the environmental footprint but also contributes to the creation of a circular economy, where materials are continuously reintegrated into the production cycle. It’s a proactive step towards a more sustainable future, where waste is minimized, resources are conserved, and responsible consumption becomes the norm.
