Robline goes green
ROBLINE X SUSTAINABILITY
Robline lives for water sports! However, we recognize that our activities have an effect on both the local and global environment.
Talking about local environment, Austria, where the headquarters of Robline is located, is one of the leading countries in Europe in the field of environmental policy. In 2016 the an average Austrian only generated around 42 kg waste per capita in comparison to Italy with 65kg plastic waste per capita. Around a third (28%) of this waste (around 0,92 Mio tons) is re-used, the rest is burnt under high temperature so that no toxics can leak. Besides this, with an average annual precipitation of around 1,100 mm Austria is one of Europe’s most water-wealthy countries. And about 50% of the drinking water used in Austria is from groundwater resources, 50% from springs. Water is also used for generating energy in this country.
Looking on a more global perspective, this is not enough for Robline. By transitioning into a more holistic approach towards sustainability, we try to adapt our processes and reduce the company’s carbon footprint gradually – with recycling, reduction of petroleum-based materials, and an optimized use of these materials.
The Fiber Ropes department at Teufelberger has set itself the following goals by 2030:
- To minimize the use of resources by offering opportunities to recycle ropes and by granulating plastic spools in-house.
- To offer climate-neutral products and focus on sustainable packaging solutions.
- To inspire and educate sportsmen and women to protect the limited resources of our oceans and lakes.
By implementing and revisiting these goals annually, Robline still focuses on the performance of its products and tries to balance the requirements of its customers by improving all processes.
Implementation
FIRST. Innovation with recycled PET – RIO GREEN & SIRIUS GREEN
Inspired by the strict environmental policy in Austria, Robline started to rethink its dockline “Rio”, and introduced a sustainable version, the “Rio Green”. Our eco-conscious Rio Green is made from 100% recycled waste plastic bottles while not giving in any of its well-known characteristics of durability, longlivity and price-performance ratio in the dockline business.
