ENGEL is one of the most sustainable industrial companies worldwide. This was confirmed by the current sustainability ranking on the EcoVadis platform. ENGEL has improved its ranking from silver to gold and is the only injection moulding machine manufacturer with gold status to date.
The sustainability report summarises all efforts in a holistic strategy and underlines the importance of the topic in the plastics industry.
ENGEL as an enabler of the circular economy
Plastic is a valuable resource. Far too valuable to dispose of after a single use. Therefore, it is vital for the future to keep it in cycles. ENGEL provides innovative machine concepts and associated technologies. With their help, recycled plastic can be processed reliably. The plastic can be available as regrind or regranulate.
Our technologies enable "design for recycling". This means that our customers' products can be returned to the cycle at the end of their service life.
Thanks to ENGEL machines and technologies, used plastics can be processed reliably and plastic cycles can be closed.
The sustainability goal is further supported by the close cooperation of companies along the value chain. Market participants network on horizontal platforms to exchange information and data: from raw material production to processing to recycling and even further towards trade and consumers.
Our vision is an absolutely sustainable and at the same time profitable plastics industry. End consumers worldwide should be able to trust that they are using clean plastic products in their everyday lives that are manufactured in a resource-conserving manner and whose supply or value chains are ethically sound. This is how we ensure prosperity, especially for our successor generations.
