Sustainability

We at Plastiflex want to be recognized within the industry and by our stakeholders as the leading global producer of plastic hose system solutions.

Additionally, we want to be known for our dedicated team of professionals who excel in product innovation and customer focus. Adhering to our values helps us to have a consistent approach to our work, industry, customers and team members.

Together, these goals will help us to achieve sustainable profitable growth and solid financial results.

Here sustainable, does not only mean continuing over a period of time, but also causing little or no damage to the overall eco-system (Ecological, Social and Governance) in which we operate.

From an ecological perspective, we have already put in place a significant number of concrete measures:

  • We have reduced the weight of many of our products without sacrificing product performance and customer requirements, i.e. using less raw materials per length of product.
  • We are using recycled resins where possible without compromising customer requirements
  • We have reduced our waste-to-landfill significantly
  • Furthermore, we have reduced the energy consumption at our manufacturing sites, e.g. by installing sensors and LED lighting.

Plastiflex is a socially responsible employer and coordinates all human resource activities from its global headquarters monitoring compliance with local rules and regulations and its global corporate values.

Governance is extremely important to Plastiflex. Plastiflex’s locations comply with local compliance rules and applicable regulatory requirements. For instance, Plastiflex Healthcare operates its manufacturing sites according to ISO 13485 quality management system while its business team at the Plastiflex headquarter ensures compliance with e.g. the EU medical device directive and/or FDA Premarket Notification depending on customer/market requirements.

Further, we strived to adhere to the following 4P’s of our Sustainability Philosophy:

  • Sustainable Purchasing – ensure that all raw materials have a clear and traceable sustainable origin.
  • Sustainable Products – develop sustainable products using, amongst other things, e.g. certified recycle resins. 
  • Sustainable Processes – Plastiflex has developed a proprietary hose manufacturing process which can use a wide range of recycled resins.
  • Sustainable Profit – Obviously, we have to ensure that our customers and specifiers/end-users understand the value of sustainability.

Plastiflex is relentlessly committed to its values of Passion, Excellence, Curiosity, Teamwork, and Integrity to safe guard a sustainable future!
