Sustainability is becoming increasingly important as we – manufacturers and consumers – recognize its significance for future generations. Many manufacturers are prioritizing circularity and have approached us about Akulon® RePurposed, the compound made from up to 70% recycled polymer 6 (100% recycled polymer) and reinforced with glass fibers. Akulon RePurposed® is driven by eco-innovation, a focus on quality and performance, and a positive contribution to the environment and society.

At Auto Expo 2025, Envalior showcased its automotive materials, setting a new benchmark at the intersection of sustainability, performance, and innovation. By addressing key challenges like lightweighting, thermal management, and environmental impact, we are leading the charge toward a more efficient, eco-friendly automotive future.

The Ahrend Remode is the most sustainable office chair yet—it is lightweight, modular, and made of recycled and recyclable materials. The chair’s structural seat components, backrest mechanism and the star base are manufactured from our Akulon® RePurposed, a versatile, high-performance polyamide, made from recycled fishing nets. The mechanical recyclate from ghost fishing nets closes Remode’s value chain designed for recycling and reduces CO2 emissions.
