As a leading international manufacturer in the electrical industry, Spelsberg develops well thought-out enclosure solutions offering reliable protection against contact and external influences when branching and connecting electrical cables. With the GreenLine, Spelsberg's focus is on preserving valuable resources. Recycled plastic is used for the junction box, which demonstrably reduces the environmental impact. The box and cover of the i 12-L GreenLine consist of at least 90 per cent post-consumer recyclate (PCR), a plastic made from end user waste. This means that existing raw materials are used in the production of the plastics, so that fewer new raw materials enter the cycle in the interests of recycling. The use of recyclates can contribute to the reduction of environmentally-harmful greenhouse gases: The ecological footprint is reduced in comparison with conventional i 12-L materials, i.e. CO2 emissions are cut by at least 40 per cent.
No loss of quality and functionality
There is no need to sacrifice the proven quality and tested product features that users have come to expect from the i 12-L. The two versions have the same dimensions (85 x 85 x 37 mm), and with IP55 and IK07 both are suitable for indoor installation. Both versions are VDE-certified and have self-sealing insertion membranes and external fixing lugs.
Saving valuable resources with the packaging
More sustainable alternatives are also used for the packaging of the GreenLine junction boxes. The packaging film consists of at least 40 per cent post-industrial recyclate, a secondary raw material from industry. The label on the film is made from 95% sugar cane fibre and 5% hemp and linen and therefore contains exclusively renewable raw materials. The corrugated-board box in which the junction boxes are supplied is not bleached during the manufacturing process, which saves energy and resources compared to conventional cardboard production. Spelsberg has also opted for a version of the label on the boxes that consists of 99 per cent recycled fibres.
