Sustainability and environmental protection at Optibelt

Optibelt sees environmental protection as more than adherence to legal requirements. We see environmental protection as a whole. While manufacturing, we work to conserve as much energy as possible. Superfluous material is introduced back into the process. We also have a clear view of the entire life cycle of our products. The fact alone that Optibelt drive belts last for an extremely long time ensures that less energy goes into production and that less waste is produced.

Sustainability and environmental protection at Optibelt

The future belongs to the coming generations. For this reason, it is important to shape the future responsibly and leave future generations a world worth living in. Conscious handling of resources, protection of the environment and climate are part of running a sustainable business and last but not least forms the basis of intergenerational fairness.
Looking into the future, OPTIBELT pledges to run the business in this sustainable way and is committed to minimising the burden on people, the environment and the climate when producing, transporting and distributing products.
