Explanation of Circular Economy Practice
Advanced industrial product must be both economical and sustainable in the actual production process along with everything that precedes it in the value chain. FLENDER ONE score both points : Practically all of the increases in efficiency with regard to application fit and resource conservation benefit not only energy balance, but also our environment. And our own CO2-neutral production meets internationally recognized environmental standards in the highest categories as well as entire supply chain.
By optimizing the design, Flender ONE upgrade gears and bearings which extend life cycle of products with advantages of less weight and size, reduced oil consumption and simple maintenance. All are contributing to reduce carbon emissions and consumption of natural resources with economic benefits to customer directly. In addition, FLENDER ONE use water- based painting , more environment friendly as less VOC emission. Also FLENDER ONE adopt paper-less process from design to delivery which enhance efficiency and environment friendly. It was awarded the prestigious and internationally renowned iF Design Award 2022 for its unique design.
