Choosing Ropetex or Powertex demonstrates your commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR). We aim to lead the transformation and set the standards for a more sustainable future in our industry, contributing to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through high standards and fact-based practices.
Sustainable Product development
We regularly develop innovative, sustainable products. For example:
- r-PET webbing slings, round sling and web lashings: In 2023, we launched our innovative range of webbing slings, round slings, and web lashings made entirely of recycled polyester (r-PET). These products have a reduced CO2e footprint of up to 75%. To learn more, click here.
- Fall protection harnesses: Our Powertex HW Eco fall protection harnesses are made from OEKO-TEX® approved r-PET fibres, ensuring the material is free from hazardous chemicals and made from recycled PET bottles.
- Steel wire rope lubricant: Our Ropetex Ultra Lube 2 is an 'Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant', specially developed to minimise environmental impact in environments where steel wire ropes come into contact with water.
Fact-based information
We believe in communicating sustainability based on facts, not greenwashing. All products in our range that are a more sustainable choice come with sustainability fact sheets detailing the enhancements and improvements.
Working together for a lower CO2 footprint
Our ultimate goal is to market only circular products. We continuously seek collaboration with innovative producers to support SDG 12: ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Training and information
Our local teams advise production partners on quality, sustainability, good working conditions, and training. This approach leads to verifiable results, with 93% of producers who have had follow-up audits improving their performance.
