Technoform - Tailored Solutions

?? Who knows the "World of Materials"???? We thought we know - but we had to find that Martin Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bonnet does own it;-) Dr. Martin Bonnet is Professor and Managing Director at TH Köln and the creator of the the channel "Welt der Werkstoffe" / "Worls of Materials" on Youtube. He is an absolute 🎓 guru. --> So we invited him around for some knowledge exchange. What a day it was! Fantastic to have him around with his expertise not only about plastics. His innovative approach inspires us and makes a great partner to discuss latest developments. Check out his channel: https://lnkd.in/e9tj6wn3 COMING SOON: our interview with him and Dirk Moses! #WeltderWerkstoffe #MaterialKnowledge #Engineering #FHKoeln #University #Passion

Interview part 3/3: How about the data quality of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator? Our calculation for the footprint of plastic profiles is based on 🗺️international standards: The calculator was specially designed for use in material and product management and provides customers with transparency regarding material use and the resulting impact on the climate. -What data sourcesℹ️ does it take as a foundation? How is data quality assured? 💻Find out more in part 3 of the interview with Process Engineer Emanuel Leisinger and Dr. Herwig Juster. #Dataquality #CarbonFootprint #GHG #environment #ReduceEmissions

Interview part 2/3: 📹 Process Engineer Emanuel Leisinger explains how the Product Carbon Footprint calculator quantifies product-specific greenhouse gas emissions. The 💻calculator uses supplier-specific data and actual energy consumption, and is aligned with ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol. Let us together look closer at the figures between: New material vs. recycled material. Calculator ➕ benefits? -Evaluate the carbon impact of different material and design choices in their plastic profile projects -Reduce climate impact of products Find out more in the 🎤interview with plastics specialist Dr. Herwig Juster. #PCF #ProductCarbonFootprint #Sustainability #ProductDesign #PlasticsEngineering #findoutaboutplastics

Interview part 1/3: In the first part of the conversation we look at the motivation behind the new Product Carbon Footprint calculator: 👤"Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the plastics industry – driven by regulatory requirements (e.g., CSRD), rising raw material costs, and customer demand for transparency." states Fabio Späth, Sustainability Manager. Dr. Herwig Juster explores why Technoform pursues a long-term approach by embedding ecological responsibility into its core business.

In our interview, plastics specialist Dr. Herwig Juster speaks with Fabio Späth (Sustainability Manager) and Emanuel Leisinger (Process Engineer) about our newly launched calculator: the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator for plastic profiles: Hear from them about: ✅ Why Technoform built its own Product Carbon Footprint calculator ✅ How you can benefit from more transparency about the carbon footprint If you're involved in materials, product development, or ESG – this conversation is for you. 🎥 Find out in the video how the calculator offers data to drive decarbonization forward. #PlasticProfiles #Sustainable #PCF #ClimateAdaptation #Technoform #Calculator #SustainableEngineering #ProductCarbonFootprint #CircularEconomy

News for you: Technoform launches a calculator to reduce the product carbon footprint: “Today, companies have a greater responsibility than ever to reduce their ecological footprint,” says Dr. Thorge Brünig, Managing Director of Technoform Kunststoffprofile GmbH. With the new Product Carbon Footprint calculator, Technoform can provide standard-based data that enables customers from a wide range of industries to identify specific greenhouse gas savings potential.

We plan📅 - we practice - we perform🎊: It is part of our corporate culture to tackle things together – even the planning of our annual end-of-year party is not done by an external agency, but by an internal task force. The task force is a new formation every year. What makes this special is that anyone who wants to can volunteer for the organizing team. This creates a diverse group that works together across teams – often allowing colleagues to get to know each other better. Why do we do it this way? -When colleagues organize the party, it automatically becomes more personal and reflects our culture -Personal responsibility: Self-organization is key for us -Creativity: our ideas count, and diversity makes our celebration unique. We even perform together, which adds a lot of fun🤡 -Cross-team learning: Joint planning creates new connections within the unit How do you go about your end of year celebration? This year we are supported by NEUE DENKEREI in Kassel. #InternalEvents #DiversityAndInclusion #EmployeeEngagement #EndOfYearParty #CorporateCulture #NeueDenkerei

Which👁️matrix is next? Our continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics project goes into next material phase. The Research & Development team is currently sampling different types of #Polypropylen (PP) in our matrix-independent #pultrusion process. A few parameters still need to be optimized, but the first profiles look promising. Our matrix portfolio currently includes Polyamide 6 (PA6) and PP in natural and black, but there will be even more choice in the future. More info on our process can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eBhXEsdn Is PP the matrix material that we should focus on next? Give us your feedback. We look forward to your suggestions in the comments! #PlasticsEngineering #MaterialInnovation #FiberReinforcement #GlassFiber #PlasticProfiles

When plastics burn – how flame retardants influence fire behavior: In this video Jonathan Brütsch compares the fire behavior of three thermoplastic profiles: 🔹 PA (Polyamide without flame retardant) – burning droplets can be observed 🔹 PA V0 (UL94 V0 flame retardant) – difficult to ignite, no dripping 🔹 PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide) – highly flame-resistant, self-extinguishing 🎥 Watch the video and see the comparison for yourself. #Plastics #FlameRetardancy #PA #PPS #UL94V0 #FiberReinforced

Just a few extra degrees in a data centre and energy costs soar, servers cut their performance, or, in the worst case, outages and fire hazards occur. 👉 Cooling isn’t just a technical challenge – it is a critical part. So, what is the real challenge in construction of safe server cabinets? Bringing safety, efficiency, and sustainability together. What if a simple component – a specially engineered plastic profile – could make all the difference? 🔥 Fire protection 💨 Optimized airflow 🍃 Free from harmful substances Curious?
