TRENDS SHAPING FUTURE INDUSTRIES
Pressing Industrial Demands
More reliable and safer products and increased efficiency
The challenges for the industry are constantly increasing. Products, processes and services must become ever faster and better…those who fail to keep up with this rapid pace of change risk being left behind. Connectivity solutions are also constantly being put to the test.
Accelerating Climate Actions
Sustainability begins with more sustainable products
We are dedicated to developing sustainable products and progressively integrating them into our entire portfolio and our next sustainable control line is already in development.
CHARTING A GREENER ROAD AHEAD
In cable manufacturing, the company focuses on two key components: copper and plastics used for cable sheathing. LAPP demonstrates its commitment to sustainability by continually striving to reduce the carbon footprint of its products and processes. In recent innovation, LAPP has introduced a more eco-friendly product, featuring data cable outer sheaths made partially from corn-based materials.
*Tested according to the ASTM D6866 standard
**Than fossil-based TPU outer sheath
The ETHERLINE® FD P Cat.5e, a staple in LAPP’s Industrial Ethernet portfolio, is now offered in a more sustainable version. LAPP has replaced the fossil-based TPU jacket with a BASF TPU made from renewable resources.
With the same product properties, utilizing these bio-based1 plastics not only reduces dependence on fossil materials, but also lowers carbon footprint by 15%.
1Raw materials of plant or animal origin that can be harvested after no more than two growth periods.
REDEFINING POSSIBILITIES WITH BIOPLASTICS
Plastics are vital to modern society, and bio-based plastics from renewable sources like corn and sugarcane are transforming industries such as cable manufacturing.
These eco-friendly alternatives reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote sustainability, marking a shift towards greener solutions. While more research is needed, bio-based materials are already paving the way for a more sustainable future.
