igus offers customers the opportunity to save costs and protect the environment at the same time when purchasing cables from the chainflex range: thanks to the residual stock in the online shop, they can purchase remaining lengths of chainflex cables at a 50% discount. This zero-waste measure helps avoid waste and makes the company more sustainable.
The renowned Belgian brewery Chimay, known for its traditional Trappist beer, relies on maintenance-free spherical bearings from igus in its bottling plant. By replacing rusty, seized ball bearings with lubrication-free igubal H3 bearing inserts, the brewery was able to increase efficiency and reduce maintenance.
Every year, several million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans. Around 1,600 rivers wash most of it into the sea. Plastic waste destroys marine ecosystems and contributes to the loss of biodiversity. To prevent it from spreading uncontrollably in the water and turning into microplastics, the start-up Plastic Fischer collects plastic waste from rivers in India and Indonesia – with the support of the Cologne-based plastics specialist igus, among others.
