Lower climate impact
Most of the materials in these microducts are selected, quality recycled plastics and, therefore, minimize the carbon footprint compared to our ducts made from virgin petroleum-based plastics. We calculate and compare the climate impact according to Cradle-to-Grave life cycles, which include all emissions from raw materials to finished products packed for delivery. The cable drum with which the ducts are delivered is also included in the calculations.
Recycled materials
At least 51% of the material in the products is recycled. The recycled material comes mainly from our production waste. In the future, returns and surplus lengths from our customers will also be reused with other high-quality recycled plastics. In addition, we always verify the materials so that their lifespan and performance are not negatively affected.
Manufactured with renewable energy
We manufacture these microducts in a central Sweden production facility powered by certified renewable energy, mainly hydropower. Our central location in the middle of Sweden keeps freight transportation to the Nordic region as short as possible.
Designed to be easily recyclable
Even items designed for extended usage must eventually be recyclable. Microduct ECO is designed to facilitate recycling. We do not mix materials that must be separated during recycling to avoid costly processes. The same type of material is used throughout, and no unnecessary details are added.
Unique 3-layer technology
Unique 3-layer technology resulting in clearly coloured and distinguishable tubes and an inner layer with the lowest possible friction. The main material can consist of a high proportion of recycled material that is naturally not recoloured.
Verified lifespan and performance
Our microducts offer performance equivalent to ducts made from virgin materials. Mechanical performance, blowability and lifetime simulations are performed for each item, and the same requirements are set for equivalent products made from virgin material. All are carefully verified in our labs.
