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.

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?
