Sometimes synthetics are simply better: Joists made of recycled plastic at ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN

The natural material wood is not always suitable for all solutions. Especially because the colleagues at ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN were particularly concerned with the issue of sustainability and resource-saving this year, they switched from wood to plastic in this case. Recycled plastic, to be precise.

In this specific case, it was about the storage of the many meters (and tons) of pipelines on the storage space of the prefabrication area of ROBUR INDUSTRIEMONTAGEN on the company premises in Leipzig. Until now, the pipelines were held and supported by some 2,400 wooden joists measuring 300x12x12 cm. Due to wear and tear and the fact that the warehouse is an open area, the wooden joists had to be replaced once a year.

Due to the use on an industrial site, the now unusable wood can unfortunately not simply be deposited or burned but must be disposed of properly. Therefore, to reduce costs and dependence on wood, the colleagues have begun this year to rely on joists made from recycled plastic.

Recycled plastic is not only a durable and robust material, but also has a lifespan of at least 30 years. This results in significant savings in maintenance and replacement costs, while reducing the environmental impact of regular disposal of worn wooden joists.

Recycled plastic is not only a durable and robust material, but also has a lifespan of at least 30 years.
