Environmental Friendliness and Sustainability
The discussions on the topic of sustainability bring uncertainty, but also a level of rethinking for many companies. It is important for your company to not only present itself in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way, but to adjust to new and consciously consuming customer groups.
Since we also process plastics, we have thought about how we can appropriately react to this. At VKF Renzel, we are proud to offer a large variety of products which are made from sustainable and recyclable materials. Advertising with environmentally friendly materials does not mean that quality is affected. All of our sustainable products are of the highest quality, with various products made from natural raw matierals which your customers are sure to appreciate. You will find articles made from natural and recycled materials, as well as articles that reduce repackaging in our range.
As early as 2011, we were the first manufacturer to present a PLA price rail. Our range has included products with the "Bio-Logic" label, which are made from plastics based on natural substances. Although demand at the time was still low, we have stayed true to the topic and expanded the range further since.
Product Markings
Renzel Nature
Products with this label consist largely of natural, renewable raw materials. Finite raw materials are replaced in this way. In addition to the classic materials such as wood or paper, research is constantly being conducted into new materials.
Recycled Materials
Products with this marking consist of plastic waste or used goods that have been recycled. VKF Renzel regularly checks in which areas the use of recyclates is possible. In this way, resources are conserved and the cycle of recyclable materials is closed.
Natural Presentation
Products with this labelling help to reduce outer packaging in retail. Waste is avoided without sacrificing an appealing presentation for the customer. They also enable consumers to shop according to their needs.
Production and Recycling
Already during production, we pay attention to the environmentally conscious use of raw materials. Sorting the residual materials by type supports the recycling cycle. The return of sold plastics closes the recycling cycle, ensuring that raw materials are used sustainably.
Manufacturing
- careful planning of operations reduces raw material waste
- use of natural and recyclable resources ensures environmentally conscious disposal
- conscious use of raw materials excludes toxic outgassing or decomposition products
- compilation of the largest possible packaging units reduces emissions and saves packaging material

Residue and Waste Disposal
- sorting of residual materials by type supports recycling by certified disposal companies
- energy generation through thermal recycling of combustible residues
Take-back of Plastics
- take-back of sold plastics
- plastics must be sorted, notified in advance and delivered free of freight charges in order to ensure a smooth and flawless return to the recycling loop.
