Here's a question for you: Imagine two engine oils. One is a modern formulation but produces more CO2 equivalents (CO2 eq) during manufacturing. The other is a standard product that generates slightly less CO2 eq. Which should you choose to reduce emissions in the long run? Surprisingly, the modern formulation is the better choice! A comparative lifecycle assessment explains why: while it requires more CO2 eq to produce, its superior performance throughout its use offsets this initial impact. Better lubrication means less friction, which translates to reduced gasoline consumption. Over its lifetime, this can save around 0.8 tons of CO2 eq per car. This example highlights the importance of lifecycle assessments in our journey towards sustainability and a circular economy. At FUCHS, we focus on the entire lifecycle of our products through our ACT (Advanced Circular Technologies) program. ACT encompasses all our efforts to transform our value chain from linear to circular. Stay tuned for the next update! #circulareconomy #sustainability #TimetoACT

Minimizing Waste in Manufacturing: Our ACT Program in Action One key challenge in a circular economy is minimizing waste in the manufacturing process. Through our ACT (Advanced Circular Technologies) program, we address this by repurposing waste energy. In Mannheim, Germany, we utilize residual heat from steam condensate produced at our facility to warm a neighboring test bay. This initiative alone saves 18 tons of CO2 annually! And that’s just the start. Our new workshop building in Mannheim uses external heating only as a backup, thanks to the same innovative principle. ACT embodies our comprehensive commitment to transforming our value chain from linear to circular. Stay tuned for upcoming updates!
