In-house recycling of elastomers
Prodex has an in-house system for recycling its profile and elastomer gasket offcuts using a high-performance shredder. This approach not only reduces waste, but also enables materials to be recycled by giving them a new life in the production process.
Prodex also ensures rigorous traceability of its raw materials and scrap, guaranteeing total transparency and exemplary quality control.
Thanks to its closed-cycle production process, Prodex optimises the use of water, resulting in extremely low consumption.
This innovative system encourages the reuse of water, reducing the amount of water drawn from natural resources and minimising waste.
This approach is part of Prodex’s commitment to combining industrial performance with respect for the environment.
New low-carbon elastomer material
Prodex is constantly on the lookout for new, more environmentally-friendly elastomer materials.
It has validated a new supplier, Elastever, which manufactures thermoplastic elastomers incorporating an unprecedented proportion of recycled tyres.
The carbon footprint of these raw materials is very low: tyre waste becomes a resource for developing thermoplastics that can be recycled ad infinitum.
Since 2024, Prodex has been sponsoring the Wings of the Ocean boat, skippered by Alexis Thomas, in its programme of races and performances on a Solitaire du Figaro boat.
Why Wings of the Ocean? Because Wings of the Ocean is the leading French association working to protect the ocean by combating litter, particularly plastic litter.
Together, Prodex and Wings of the Ocean are combining innovation and ecological commitment: 100% recyclable elastomer seals to limit the plastic footprint and action on the ground to preserve our oceans.
