CAN WOOD MAKE THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY GREENER? Join us at the IAA MOBILITY 2023 where Forward Engineering dives into this exciting question. With the industry's shift towards sustainability and reduced carbon footprint, challenges appear for all stakeholders. Could a renewable, carbon-sequestrating material meet the complex needs and requirements of the automotive sector? Prepare to be amazed by wood's potentials and possibilities – shown in a door impact beam, together with our partner Weitzer Woodsolutions. Our collaboration sets the focus on the entire value chain: from conceptual multi-material-design and simulation to automated mass production and end-of-life recycling with wood as a material! Let's discuss future opportunities together! Visit us in hall B1 booth E50 to learn more.   #IAAMobility #FutureMobility #SustainabilityChampions #CircularEconomy #InnovateForTomorrow

🌱☀️🌍 Sustainable product development at ZIMMERMANN PV-Steel Group We strive to create products that are durable, low maintenance and environmentally friendly throughout their entire life cycle. We use high quality, 100% recyclable steel, contributing to the circular economy. Our precision engineering ensures material efficiency without compromising strength and durability. An example of this is our ZIM float system, which uses recycled HDPE material in the inner layer of the floats. Key aspects of our approach are: 👉Resource efficiency: Minimal material use and waste. 👉Durability: Long lasting, high quality material and products. 👉Ease of use: Easy to install, use and maintain. 👉Recycling: Designs that facilitate recycling and reuse. 👉Collaboration: Working with suppliers such as Welser Profile to minimise environmental impact. 👉Systems thinking: Recognising that products are part of a larger system, the aim is to optimise interactions with other products and processes. Together we are building a sustainable future. 🌱🌏☀️ #zimmermannpvsteelgroup #sustainability #greenenergy #solarpower #energytransition #futureisgreen #energy #renewableenergy #greenfootprint #futureofenergy #solarenergy #fixedtilt #pvfloating #pvagri #pvtracker #intersolar2024 #boothA6350 #meetus

🌞🔥🌎 Sustainability matters. Materials and raw material usage are planet focused. 🌱 We attach great importance to the conscious use of resources when it comes to product materials, the means of production, and employees. ♻️ We use recycled and recyclable materials whenever possible. 📏 In production design, we make sure that components require little space and resources and can be easily replaced, if necessary. Set a reminder to regularly check back bi-weekly for Fronius USA social posts on sustainability. Together, let's make a brighter, greener future. 🌲☀️🌎 #froniususa #froniussolar #solarenergy #renewableenergy #digitaltools #solarapp #solarinstaller #solarinstallers #froniussolarenergy #sunpower #greenenergy #sustainability #sustainableenergy #pvsystem #pvdesign #photovoltaics #solarinverter #solarinverters #webinar #troubleshootingapp #froniuswelding #froniususa #weld #weldeveryday #weldinglife #unleashyourweldingpotential #exento #fumeextraction

🧩 Greener Durability... How can Forgeway enable sustainability? As a chemical manufacturer, it may seem hypocritical to claim we are enabling sustainability. After all, we process chemicals on a daily basis. But this isn't just a far-fetched claim. Here's how Forgeway really is enabling sustainability through greener durability. Greener Durability isn't about the amount of solar panels and electric vehicles we have. Nor is it about the renewable energy we source. We believe these activities should be well established in every company. Everyone should be implementing these small changes to reduce their environmental impact. No, Greener Durability is about the bigger picture. Greener Durability is about producing high-quality and strong adhesive products. The same strong and durable adhesive products that are enabling a sustainable future. Especially with the shift towards lighter-weight vehicles, renewable energy sources, and composite materials. A sustainable future is dependent on these creations becoming widespread. Strong and durable adhesives are vital in making sure these products are a possibility. Yes, there are bio-based and 'eco-friendly' adhesives (whatever that means) available that could be used. But these 'green adhesives' are nowhere near durable or strong enough to bond electric cars and wind turbines. They are even less capable of remaining durable in harsh conditions. So the key to ensuring a sustainable future is not with these 'green adhesives'. The key is to make sure the adhesives are as strong and durable as possible. And that's what Forgeway is doing.

The principles of the circular economy gain increasing importance in the construction industry and represent an important concept for companies' sustainability efforts. In this context, resources should be returned to the cycle and reused in an environmentally friendly manner. The PRADIER Group puts this principle into practice every day with the help of the SENNEBOGEN electric port material handlers 840 E and 855 E. #Electrichandlers #PradierGroup #Sennebogen

🌍 As we celebrate International Day of Zero Waste on March 30th 🌿 we're taking the opportunity to share how our customers are taking action to reduce waste and conserve resources for a more sustainable future. Discover how the world’s most northerly paper mill, Billerud in Sweden, modernized existing assets to ensure maximum resource efficiency of their electrical infrastructure. Instead of replacing their entire system, Billerud invested in retrofits and upgrades to give aging switchgear a new lease on life at their plant in Karlsborg. These measures not only extend the lifespan of existing infrastructure by decades for greater productivity, but also contribute to resource conservation by reducing the amount of waste generated from discarded equipment.

The WEEE directive is insufficient for ewaste recycling Ewaste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. When electrical products and electronic equipment reach the end of their usable life they will often be sent to landfill, where they are expected to rot away and be forgotten. The underlying issue is that most electronic circuit board assemblies are built with glass reinforced epoxy laminates (FR4) which cannot be recycled! The lack of recyclability and reuse means this ewaste goes to landfill, but it will never decompose, resulting in an environmental catastrophe that will last generations.    Read more below 👇 #ElectronicSpecifier #Technology #Engineering #Engineers #Tech #Ewaste #Recycling #ElectricalProducts #ElectronicEquipment #Landfil In2tec Ltd

🌞🔥🌎 Sustainability matters. Packaging our products with sustainability in mind.
