Energy and material efficiency determine carbon footprint of the product. Already in the design phase we can make the necessary changes to optimize it.
Reduction
Of Co2
Footprint
Per Product
In the last 5 years, we have succeeded in reducing the CO2 footprint per product by 70% through systematic approach.
Globally, we consume resources of 2,5 planets. We
urgently need to implement the principles of the
circular economy:
modularity, durability,
energy efficiency,
material efficiency,
upgradability,…
Circular
Economy
Embedded
Our platforms are modular, upgradeable, energy and material efficient, contain recycled materials, are fully recyclable, with optimized packaging and logistics.
Material efficiency is extremely important, but critical and conflict materials (3TG) also bring risks in terms of availability and social issues in the supply chain.
2 aspects are important: recycled materials used in
the product components and the
degree to which
the
product can be
recycled at the
end of its
life cycle.
Recycled
&
Recyclable
All Iskraemeco platforms are fully recyclable. We have
also introduced 10% recycled metals while 30% of
plastic parts can be made from 80%
post-industrial
recycled plastic.
95%
Transparent
Supply Chain
We are fully transparent about conflict materials (3TG) and critical materials. Our “One planet” design rule is to minimize the use of all specific materials according to available technologies.
Optimizing the resources used in production can be done with lean production and automation principles.
Environmental
Footprint
We have significantly reduced our environmental footprint by adopting lean manufacturing principles, automation and energy retrofits of commercial and manufacturing buildings. ISO 14001, ISO 50001.
Supporting the regional economy through on-site production and collaboration with the local supply chain and development partners.
Social
Footprint
Iskraemeco is a global company with local footprint. In Europe, we have the largest production line and 70% of components come from local suppliers. We are an active member of the UNGC and enforce FLA labor standards throughout our supply chain. ISO 26000, ISO 45001.

“one Planet”
Approach
Globally, humanity consumes 2,5 planetary resources annually, while we have only one planet. Implementing circular economy and sustainability principles is essential from the very beginning of the design process. The “One Planet” design rule is embedded in Iskraemeco’s strategy and approach to all solutions.
