Sustainability

With resource-efficient materials and high operational efficiency, we are already setting standards for tomorrow.

“ Our development projects are focused on two main questions: How do our customers benefit from them, and how do they help us attain our sustainability goals?"

Circular Economy

Keeping resources in the loop – for a sustainable future

Our strapping solutions are part of a closed-loop system – efficient, responsible, and future-focused.

We rely on recycling, reuse, and smart material utilization. This extends the lifecycle of raw materials and reduces waste – all in support of a functioning circular economy.

  • Take-back of used strapping bands

  • Reprocessing into recycled material and reuse in new strapping band

  • Goal 2026: 30% Use of recyclate strapping waste

  • Goal 2030: up to 100% strapping made from strapping

  • Joint focus on waste reduction – in processes and packaging

  • Close collaboration with partners along the value chain

CO₂ Footprint

We take responsibility for the CO₂ footprint of our products

From raw material selection to packaging – we design our products with the smallest possible footprint. Our goal is clear: avoid, reduce, and transparently report emissions. We rely on data-driven analysis of our materials and production processes. CO₂ reduction through the use of recycled materials Our production in Austria uses electricity from renewable sources. Smart packaging – as little as possible, as much as necessary Ongoing CO₂ accounting and improvement measures at product and company level thanks to our internal product LCA using SimaPro and EcoInvent data, supported by external consultants (in accordance with ISO 14040)

ESG Goal for 2030

To process 90% of recyclate in our strapping

  • Goal: to achieve 90% recycled content throughout the entire product portfolio by 2030.

  • Goal: to maintain 100% recycled content in PET products until 2030.

  • Goal: to use at least 50% recyclate content in PP products by 2030.

In the future, the use of recycled material is going to be reulated by legislation, and recycled content will be awarded tax breaks. This is why Teufelberger is working towards ensuring the use of 50% recyclate content in PP products and 100% recyclate in PET products by 2030. A first milestone was documentet in FY 2023/24: The majority of PET product portfolio was awarded the "OK Recycled TÜV Austria" certificate for a proven recycled content of 100%. In the PP segment 120 products were confirmed to have at least 30% recylced content. In 2025 Teufelberger reached the milestone of 40% rPP in the black section of PP strapping! The OK Certification is in accordance with EN 15343 also brings tax benefits for customers.
