Cubyko leaf: Sustainable Innovation at the Heart of Hager Group
06 September 2024
At Hager Group, sustainable innovation is not just a goal but a tangible reality.
With the launch of our cubyko leaf range in 2023, we reaffirm our commitment to eco-design, sustainable development, and responsible innovation. This series of sockets and switches, made with 27 -32% of recycled plastic embodies our vision of a sustainable electrical future where environmental protection is as crucial as customer satisfaction.
About Eco-Design
Cubyko leaf is a perfect example of the eco-design approach implemented at Hager Group. By incorporating recycled plastic collected near the oceans, we not only contribute to reducing plastic waste but also lower CO2 emissions related to this range by at least 3% of kg/CO2 on total Global Warming Potential. This approach is set to expand with the launch of this range in Spain earlier in 2024 , as well as other references in more countries such as Germany, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands, and Sweden planned for 2025.
The choice of recycled plastic for cubyko leaf reflects our ambition to integrate sustainable ecological practices into our production processes. This initiative allows us to give a second life to materials that otherwise might end up in nature, while meeting the high standards of quality and safety that our customers expect from our products. By using existing resources rather than new raw materials, we reduce our ecological footprint while offering reliable and innovative solutions. Thus, each reference prevents the equivalent of a 75-centiliter plastic bottle from ending up in the ocean.
Sustainable Development: A Strategic Pillar of Hager Group
This eco-design approach is just one part of our vision for sustainable development. At Hager Group, this term is not just a simple business strategy, but a long-standing commitment. We firmly believe that economic growth can and must go hand in hand with environmental responsibility.
The cubyko leaf range initiative is part of a broader approach, where each product is designed to minimize its environmental impact while maximizing its efficiency. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and encouraging sustainable practices throughout our value chain, from material selection to product end-of-life.
