Sustainability

Together. Responsible.

At 3A Composites Europe, we’re continuously looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact.

Sustainability 3A Composites GmbH

We are always looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment so that our customers can focus on their business without compromising on sustainability.

The ever-increasing demand for resources means it's crucial that we find ways to reduce waste and reuse what is already available. At all of our sites careful handling of our raw materials, caring for the environment and the people we work with is part of our daily routine. This is reflected in our health & safety, energy, environment and quality management systems which are certified by ISO.

That is why sustainability is a key priority in our new corporate strategy.

Developing sustainable & innovative products

At 3A Composites, our special focus has always been on “research & development”.

Advancing a circular economy

In terms of sustainability, one of the most effective aspects is contributing to environmental protection by saving valuable raw materials and avoiding waste. In addition to pre-consumer recycling, which is practised at our sites, we are committed to establishing and achieving a closed loop system for our products after the end-of-life phase. Please contact us more for details on these loops.

Sustainable development goals

Our sustainability management approach is aligned with several of the Sustainable Development Goals (Sustainable Development Goals / SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) and their associated targets. These goals came into effect on January 1st, 2016 as part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Following the UN framework, we are focusing on the four SDGs on which our company can have the biggest impact.

To help define the most important sustainability issues for 3A Composites Europe, we conducted a materiality analysis. Our materiality assessment helps us understand the relevance of the identified topics for our business as well as the environment. These topics have been derived from the corporate materiality analysis and adapted to our key markets.

Within these markets we have identified additional strategic measures to specifically address our customers' requirements in the area of sustainability. Our goal is to be the industry benchmark with our sustainability efforts and thus also to live up to our commitment as a brand leader. Click on one of the following market segments to learn more.
