Sustainability
As a family-owned company with almost 200 years of experience at Röchling, we have a clear focus on long-term success and responsible action. Sustainability is a crucial value for us that should also benefit future generations. Our economic activities are based on the principle of sustainable growth, which is a success factor for us.
As experts in engineering plastics, we recognize their importance for environmental protection and resource conservation. The "Röchling Board Sustainability", founded in 2022, is dedicated to sustainability issues and supports the entire Executive Board in implementing concrete measures.
We treat the environment and society in the same way as we treat our customers, partners and employees: with mutual respect, great appreciation and great trust. We divide our focus topics into three fields of action : Products, Planet, People.
Products
Of course, the focus is on our customers. We actively support them in gaining competitive advantages and achieving their sustainability goals. With Röchling-BioBoom® for bioplastics and Röchling-ReLoop® for recyclates, our company was already able to introduce two new product families in 2022.
We are proud to produce innovative components from natural fibers and recycled materials that help reduce the carbon footprint of your products. Larger components in particular, such as vehicle underbodies, can make a significant contribution to this without restricting their functionality.
