E2.1 e-chain® product range made of igumid CG LW

Conserving resources, extending the product life cycle

igumid CG LW is the further development of our recycled material igumid CG and is now the new base material in our complete E2.1 standard product range. This sustainable material has the same specifications, incorporating both "end-of-life" e-chains® collected as part of our Chainge® program and other recycled plastic, e.g. from fishing nets.

White paper: Recycling of industrial plastics

Industrial plastics are now very easy to recycle

Sustainable behavior is an important topic that we want to promote in the German economy. To this end, we have created a white paper that explains the most important terms for correct recycling and shows the importance of (recycled) plastic in Germany. In addition, we also present a simple way to recycle technical and industrial plastic and to purchase and sell recyclates in order to complete the circular economy.

Our sustainability measures 2025

igus® focuses on sustainability in all three areas: Direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2) and emissions in the supply chain (Scope 3). These include using process waste heat, adding new e-charging stations, modernizing buildings, using green electricity and recycling production waste. We present all measures in detail in the link below.
