We lead the way in sustainability.
As a leading company in the rubber engineering sector, actively promoting sustainability is our core commitment. We always apply the highest standards of workflow and material quality during product development and take a proactive approach to meeting the needs of our customers. We uphold the same commitment to environmental protection. The following measures are therefore an integral part of our corporate philosophy:
Resource efficiency and recycling
We are committed to optimizing production processes in order to minimize raw material consumption and reduce waste. Moreover, we employ recycling processes to reclaim old rubber and elastomers for use in new products.
Use of sustainable materials
We also use more sustainable raw materials, including bio-based and recycled elastomers. Researching and experimenting with alternative raw materials that are eco-friendly and biodegradable is also an integral part of our daily operations.
Energy efficiency and emissions reduction
We achieve low-emission production by utilizing energy-efficient production facilities, harnessing renewable energy sources and reducing emissions.
Product design and life cycle analysis
We prioritize sustainability as early as the development phase by designing products that are durable and easy to recycle at the end of their life cycle.
Certifications and standards
We are certified to ISO 14001 and adhere to stringent environmental and quality standards. This guarantees that our products fulfill the highest environmental requirements.
Our goal is to achieve zero net carbon emissions – by 2050!
We explore innovative technologies and utilize new materials to reduce the environmental impact of rubber tube production. Our advancements in environmental management are simply remarkable. Through ongoing innovation and a comprehensive approach to sustainability, we are transforming the rubber engineering industry in an eco-friendly manner, thereby contributing to a sustainable future. After all, we excel in flexibility and adaptability.
For instance, PROGUM was awarded the Ecovadis Gold Medal. We are also a member of B.A.U.M. (Bundesdeutscher Arbeitskreis für Umweltbewusstes Management e.V.), an organization dedicated to promoting environmental protection and sustainability in business practices.
