Since we started in 2000, sustainability is more than a goal—it’s the foundation of everything we do. From sourcing responsibly to developing innovative compounds with recycled polymers and natural fibers, we strive to minimize environmental impact while maximizing performance. Our commitment goes beyond compliance; it’s about creating long-term value for our customers, our communities, and the planet. Together, we shape a future where circularity and innovation go hand in hand
Sustainability is no buzz word for us.
It is all about measurable actions and key indicators. We make (y)our sustainability choices visible and measurable by calculating the carbon footprint and taking initiatives to reduce it.
Our goal is to find the right balance between materials, processes, manufacturing and support.
We strive to reduce our carbon emission. We have to make sustainability visible and measurable by calculating the carbon footprint and taking initiatives to reduce it. Discover below how we do this.
We calculate the cradle-to-gate carbon footprint for all our sustainable compounds, as we consider this one of the most important sustainability indicators.
Product carbon footprint (PCF) , is the total sum of all greenhouse gas emissions which are produced during the life cycle of the product. It covers all Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gasses, not just CO2 during the entire value chain.*
Transparant indication of our PCF value on our packaging labels.
We can assure the cradle-to-gate boundary. This is an assessment of a partial product life cycle from resource extraction (cradle) to the first factory (gate) of the value chain.
The use of bio-based or recycled materials in our compounds has a reducing effect on the carbon footprint.
Beologic carbon neutral compounds and low carbon compounds show a significant contribution. Our compounds reduce your carbon footprint by replacing your previous materials to natural fibres or recycled polymers.
Material acquisition and preprocessing have a huge impact on the carbon footprint. We produce compounds with a carbon footprint that is way lower than plastics. Next to this, we offset remaining carbon emissions in case of carbon neutral compounds.
| Input material | Carbon footprint (kgCO2 eq/kg) |
|---|---|
| PVC | 2,20 |
| PE | 2,09 |
| PP | 1,78 |
| ABS | 3,22 |
| PS | 2,33 |
| Wood* | 0,10 |
| Other natural fibres | 0,10 |
| Recycled plastic | 0,70 |
*Beologic doesn’t account for carbon stored by trees and plants, as it cannot be guaranteed that this CO2 isn’t released again later in the life cycle. Therefore we consider only the carbon footprint linked to harvesting of our bio-based materials.
Material acquisition and preprocessing have a huge impact on the carbon footprint. We produce compounds with a carbon footprint that is way lower than plastics. Next to this, we offset remaining carbon emissions in case of carbon neutral compounds.
By reducing the amount of greenhouse gasses in the total chain, we can reduce the carbon footprint and actively contribute to a greener world.
