Sustainability in the plastics industry

Sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy. By including ENGEL in the group of 50 Climate Leaders, Bloomberg is honoring this commitment and giving the industrial commitment to climate and environmental protection greater public attention.

The LIT Factory of the Linz Institute of Technology (LIT) at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Linz is a networked teaching, learning and research factory for smart polymer processing and digitalization. ENGEL is a long-standing partner and sponsor of the institute and conducts research with its own test facilities on site.

With digital product passports, R-Cycle creates the basis for a high-quality recycling process by automatically recording recycling-relevant information as early as the product manufacturing stage. A prerequisite for closing material cycles is information transparency along the entire value chain.

All players along the value chain in Austria need to join forces to close the loop. To ensure that packaging does not end up in the environment but is returned to the product cycle, new effective alliances must be formed. This is why ENGEL, as a Packaging with Verpackung mit Zukunft, is working for the first time with new partners along the value chain from its location in Austria.

In mid-March 2019, ENGEL became one of the first companies in the plastics machinery industry to sign the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's global commitment to the New Plastics Economy. Together with more than 350 companies, universities and organizations, this cooperation is committed to the circular economy and sustainability worldwide.

With the EcoVadis platinum award, ENGEL is among the top 1% of the world's most sustainable companies. EcoVadis is the world's largest provider of sustainability rankings and evaluates the environmental, social and ethical sustainability ambitions of companies.

The United Nations Global Compact is the world's largest and most important initiative for responsible corporate conduct. The vision of the UN Global Compact is an inclusive and sustainable global economy based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which ENGEL fully supports.
