Nothing is too small to make a difference - Same performance as the original but with Green credentials.
The First Splicing Connector Made of Partially Recycled and Bio-Circular Plastics
The Path to Greater Sustainability
As an industrial manufacturing company, we require many resources, meaning energy and raw materials like plastics.
Conventional plastics consist of carbon compounds derived from sources such as petroleum and natural gas –two non-renewable materials whose extraction damages our environment and climate.
To steadily reduce the need for new plastic, we are rethinking one of our most popular products, the 221 Series Splicing Connector with Levers, which is now available in a version made from partially bio-circular and recycled plastics. Its name: the WAGO Green Range Splicing Connector with Levers.
The new terminal block from the Green Range product family is a first step towards greater sustainability since every big change begins with the first small step.
Connecting the Past and the Future
The WAGO Green Range Splicing Connector with levers has the same advantages and features as its sister with orange levers. However, it consists partly of bio-circular plastics (derived from bio-based recyclables from industrial and household use) and recycled plastics (post-consumer recycled material) with a certification of origin. Thus, the WAGO Green Range Splicing Connector with Levers conserves fossil resources and helps keep existing plastics in circulation.
The details: The levers (PBT) are derived at least 27 % from reused PET bottles. The housing is based on up to 77 % biological waste like tall oil, waste fats and waste from cooking oil production. Sophisticated technical processes turn these into a high-quality polycarbonate that reduces the use of fossil resources. That makes the connector a more sustainable alternative with the same quality and certifications as the familiar 221 Series Splicing Connector. The WAGO Green Range Splicing Connector with Levers is the terminal block for anyone who wants to achieve more sustainable production or construction – whether device manufacturers, building technicians or electrical installers.
