i 12 Green_L with > 90 % PCR

A sustainable connection

The i 12-L GL consists of at least 90 % Post-Consumer Recyclate (PCR). This is plastic that is produced from plastic waste from end users. The use of PCR material not only demonstrably reduces environmental pollution, but also preserves valuable resources. By using post-consumer recyclate, we can reduce our ecological footprint by at least 40 % compared to conventional i 12-L materials - without having to compromise on quality and functionality. The i 12-L GL is a further step by Spelsberg towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. The new Green_L series from Spelsberg therefore makes a positive contribution to our environment while maintaining the same product quality.

Facts about the sustainable junction box

Recycled material to preserve resources

  • Step 1: As the term post-consumer recyclate implies, the recycling process begins with the end user. This is where the product is used and then disposed of.
  • Step 2: When disposing of waste, it is important that it is managed and separated correctly to allow recycling in the most energy-efficient way possible.
  • Step 3: Once it arrives at the processing plant, treatment of the waste can commence. This takes place in a number of individual steps in which the material is sorted and professionally cleaned. The segregated plastic waste can then be reused.
  • Step 4: In the case of PCR granules, which are used to produce the new Green_L, for example, the collected transparent packaging films are compacted and then ground using a granulator. The ground raw material is then compounded to produce the finished recyclate using an extruder. In doing so the plastics are turned into the specified, granulated form.
  • Step 5: The finished PCR plastic granulate is then delivered to Spelsberg and moulded into the correct shape by our plastics experts. Continuous monitoring by our quality professionals ensures that the strict requirements placed on the product properties are always met. The result is another usable products, the i 12-L Green_L.
  • 6. Schritt: The end user can now utilise the i 12-L GL in the desired area of application.

A good decision for you
and for the environment

A sustainable junction box made from at least 90% PCR

By employing secondary raw materials such as PCR for the manufacture of new products, existing raw materials that have been created through a recycling process are utilised. Recycling prevents new raw materials having to enter the cycle. In addition to preserving natural resources, recyclates can also help to reduce environmentally harmful greenhouse gases. In the case of our i 12-L GL we save at least 40% of the CO2 compared to the conventional i 12-L, based on material usage.

CO2 savings of at least 40% based on the material

By using secondary raw materials such as PCR, the production of new products is based on existing raw materials resulting from a recycling process. Recycling prevents new raw materials having to enter the cycle. In addition to preserving natural resources, recyclates can also help to reduce environmentally harmful greenhouse gases. In the case of our i 12-L GL we save at least 40% of the CO2 compared to the conventional i 12-L, based on material usage.

A sustainable decision from raw material to packaging

Like the classic i 12-L, the i 12-L GL is available in the packaged "series". The packaging film consists of at least 40 % post-industrial recyclate, or PIR. The label on the film is made from 95% sugar cane fibre and 5% hemp and linen and is therefore made from 100% renewable raw materials. The cardboard box in which the GreenLine is supplied was not bleached during the manufacturing process, which can lead to energy and resource savings compared to conventional cardboard production. The label, which in turn identifies the cardboard, consists of 99% recycled fibers.

Same quality - significantly more sustainable: A Spelsberg quality product through and through

As you have come to expect from our Spelsberg quality products, you do not have to sacrifice tested product characteristics with GreenLine. The safety of our products is paramount and is proven by various tests and certificates. The i 12-L GL - like the conventional i 12-L - is of course VDE-certified.
Neither is the sustainable junction box in any way inferior to its predecessor in terms of other product features. Both versions have IP55 and IK07, so that the areas of use and the applications do not change.
