Masterflex Pilot - suction hoses made from recycled plastic
In Gelsenkirchen, Masterflex SE, the global market leader for high-tech hose systems, is launching a circular economy pilot project together with NESTRO Lufttechnik. For the first time, suction hoses made from fully recycled plastic material are being tested in industrial use. The aim is to close the material loop and make the circular economy practicable.
Project launch between Nestro Lufttechnik and Masterflex SE
The starting signal was given when NESTRO handed over a specially collected batch of used hose remnants to Masterflex. Masterflex produced prototypes from the recycled material; these were inspected at a joint meeting in mid-August - with consistently positive results. Both partners see future-oriented potential for everyday use in many industries.
Masterflex hose recycling
As a hose technology leader, Masterflex combines materials expertise and engineering know-how. The focus is on the strategy Hero@Zero - the change towards resource-neutral solutions along the circular economy. In the future, take-back services, recycling processes and eco-certifications are planned so that products and services will form a closed loop in the future. The delivered prototypes are now undergoing an endurance test in real operation. Interested companies can contact Masterflex Group as a cooperation partner and benefit from a pioneering role - circular economy in industrial production is now.
