The new company-wide report, prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), provides detailed insights into ESG performance, climate action commitments, and material innovations across KRAIBURG TPE's global operations.
With the publication of its first company-wide Sustainability Report, KRAIBURG TPE provides customers, partners, and other stakeholders with a transparent overview of its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. The report covers all three production sites and outlines the company's sustainability strategy as well as its progress and achievements. Prepared in accordance with the simplified European Sustainability Reporting Standards, it shows how sustainability is integrated into KRAIBURG TPE's business model – from product development and responsible sourcing to climate action, circular economy initiatives, and employee well-being.
Beyond environmental performance, the report also outlines KRAIBURG TPE's approach to responsible business practices, including governance, compliance and responsible supply chain management. During the reporting period, all relevant suppliers at the company's production sites signed the Supplier Code of Conduct, were covered by sustainability clauses and underwent CSR assessments.
The report presents several key milestones and commitments, including:
• EcoVadis Gold rating for all production sites
• Expansion of recycled-content, bio-based and ISCC PLUS-mass balanced TPE solutions
• Progress in Loop TPE take-back and reprocessing concepts
• 100% renewable electricity at production sites in Germany and the United States
For KRAIBURG TPE, sustainability is closely linked to material innovation and the transition towards a circular economy. The company continues to expand its portfolio of recycled-content, bio-based and ISCC PLUS-mass balanced TPE solutions while developing circular material concepts such as Loop TPE. Through this initiative, TPE materials processed by the customer can be taken back, reprocessed into TPE compounds and supplied back to customers, which can help conserve valuable resources.
In addition to developing more circular materials, KRAIBURG TPE supports customers with Product Carbon Footprint calculations, material selection consultancy and guidance on downstream processing and end-of-life options. Together with co-recyclability assessments for selected grades in PP and HDPE recycling streams, these services help customers make informed material decisions.
