Joining forces to drive sustainable development forward
Both at Freiler-Polytech and TeraPlast, we are deeply aware that sustainability and product quality are directly linked. This is reflected in our operational strategies and initiatives, which attach the utmost importance to both environmental protection and product quality:
- We both actively integrate post-consumer recyclate (PCR) into our manufacturing processes to minimize waste and promote the principles of a circular economy.
- With the annual production of our specially developed EQ-LINE, we save around 14,000 tons of CO₂ - and thus contribute to the urgently needed reduction of emissions. The range combines high quality with an environmentally friendly approach. We can guarantee our customers consistently high quality thanks to seamless monitoring of our raw materials and regular inspections.
- Another notable example is (GRIᴺ Pipe, an innovative solution from TeraPlast. These pipes, made from either 50 or 100 percent recycled PVC, demonstrate our commitment to transforming waste into durable products with an extended life cycle, thus ensuring greater sustainability.
