Long service life + recycling = zero waste

These are aspects that really concern companies and for which a sensible solution is needed! igus® has therefore taken up the cause of tackling precisely these problems. With a 4-year guarantee for energy chain and cable and the ability to know how long the products will last in your application, the resource-saving use of plastic can be initiated at the planning stage. You also have the certainty that the product will last and can plan the exact time when a replacement is necessary.
This means you have no downtime and, at the same time, a long service life ensures that you do not produce unnecessarily large quantities or generate waste due to damaged goods

Nevertheless, another question follows: What happens after the service life? Thanks to our chainge® programme, you can return your used energy chain to the circular economy. igus® recycles the chain and you receive a voucher for your next order.

The recycling platform for the circular economy: We simplify the recycling of technical and industrial plastics for you. On this platform, you can recycle your energy chain from igus®, as well as plastic from other manufacturers. We have already recycled around 100,000 kg of plastic since 2019.

• Company: Noble Drilling
• Product: e-loop® on an oil rig
• Success for the customer: Time reduction of 8 hours and savings of €60,000

igus® has developed the e-loop® as an alternative to the service loop so that cables with large cross sections and high weights can be guided safely in suspended applications. The energy supply is a round, three-dimensional modular system that can move cables with a defined bend radius without strain. The cables can be inserted individually and replaced during maintenance. The chain links can also be replaced at any time.
