Meaningful action in favour of sustainable development

Our self-locking wedge used to secure paper rolls during transport is made of natural flax, which is light and strong, reusable and recyclable.

In cooperation with our customers and flax board producer, we have developed and designed a flax wedge that is nearly 100% recyclable, in order to replace polystyrene wedges that were used before.

The serial production was launched in 2011. In the meantime, some 5.000.000 wedges have been delivered. This corresponds to approximately 30 000m³ or 1800 tons of polystyrene. In other words, polystyrene in the amount of 1800 000 kg is not polluting our planet.
