Sustainability at bekuplast: a holistic approach
At bekuplast, sustainability is more than just an ecological goal – it is a holistic principle that permeates all areas of the company. As a family-owned company, bekuplast is aware of its social responsibility towards its employees and society. The company is actively committed to fair working conditions, equal opportunities and an open corporate culture. ‘We see sustainability not as a trend, but as an obligation. The gold medal from EcoVadis confirms that we are on the right track and motivates us to achieve even more,’ says Jörg Deglmann, Managing Director of bekuplast GmbH.
Reusable instead of disposable – responsibility for people and the environment
The concept of reusability is at the heart of bekuplast's philosophy. By developing durable and reusable packaging solutions, bekuplast actively contributes to reducing single-use packaging and promoting the circular economy. The company continuously invests in innovative materials and resource-saving production processes. ‘We are committed to the concept of reusability and invest in long-term sustainable development that has a positive impact on people and the environment,’ explains Nina Zwafink, Sustainability Officer at bekuplast GmbH.
Energy targets: 100% renewable by 2030
Another central component of bekuplast's sustainability strategy is the switch to renewable energies. The goal is to use only energy from renewable sources by 2030. bekuplast already produces part of the energy it needs with its own photovoltaic systems. By using solar energy, the company is making a sustainable contribution to reducing its carbon footprint while also reducing its dependence on conventional energy sources.

The EcoVadis award is a significant milestone for bekuplast – and at the same time an incentive to continue consistently on the path it has chosen. With a strong team, innovative ideas and clear goals, bekuplast is actively shaping a more sustainable future.
