BOLA's commitment for the environment

BOLA takes its responsibility for the environment seriously. Our responsibility is not only a respectful handling of natural resources but also avoiding waste and integration of recycling in the production process.

Even during the machining of PTFEGlossaryPTFE Polytetrafluoroethylene (e. g. drilling, turning or milling) all cuttings are collected by means of suction through a special tube system directly on our machines. All chips as well as remnants of semi-finished items are sorted according to their purity and stored contamination-free in large containers before later being recycled. During recycling, all chips and remnants are converted by a specially developed process into usable semifinished items.
With regard to the environment, disposable products are no longer in our mind. Therefore all our products are designed for long-time use.
Generation of chips can be avoided by using moulded parts. In addition, moulding reduces the consumption of PTFEGlossaryPTFE Polytetrafluoroethylene powder and energy.
Products made of the most common fluoroplasticsGlossaryfluoroplasticsbelong to the group of thermoplastics. are free of plasticizers and solvents. Thus, they are not harmful for the environment.
