Sustainability

Sustainability gives the brand meaning.

Raw materials are becoming scarcer and the burden on the environment is growing. That is why we increasingly make our packing shims and wedges from more eco-friendly materials: with bio-based fibres, manufacturing in Germany and short transport routes.

Sustainability & material

The sunflower makes the material visible.

As bio-based fibres, sunflower seed husks reinforce the plastic composite of our products. That is why the flower stands for more than sustainability: it brings together nature, material innovation and technical performance.

Our principles

Responsible use of materials

Material

Fibre composite with sunflower seed husks

Together with Golden Compound, we use a fibre composite reinforced with fibres from sunflower seed husks. This saves up to 35% of virgin petroleum-based plastic.

The fibre

100% bio-based

The fibre stores carbon, does not use food crops and requires no additional farmland.

Impact

Less CO₂, same performance

Renewable instead of fossil raw materials reduce CO₂ emissions and save primary energy, with unchanged product properties.

Made in Germany, with short transport routes. For us, sustainable also means durable: GV installation products are robust, reusable and stay in the structure permanently.
