80 percent CO2 saved: From old energy chains and fishing nets to the recycled e-chain series

Following the successful development of the first energy chain made from recycled material in 2022, igus is now converting the entire catalog range of the standard energy chain series E2.1 to the new recycled material igumid CG LW. This is made from old energy chains, which are recycled via the company's own “chainge” program, as well as old fishing nets. These energy chains have 80 percent lower CO2 emissions.

Nominated for the HERMES AWARD 2025

The product Mobile Shore Power Outlet (iMSPO) has been nominated for the HERMES AWARD . It is an innovation in the shoreside power supply of ports. The system delivers a mobile and flexible solution by precisely positioning power outlets for ships along a berth, reaching distances of up to 400 meters exactly where needed. The power cables are routed in a roller-supported energy conduit specially engineered for long distances and heavy loads. This protects the cables from wear and tear and prevents tripping hazards. The system has both ecological and economic advantages: the fact that no diesel generators need to be used means that emissions of harmful substances are reduced at the ports. At the same time, the durable and low-maintenance system helps to reduce operating costs and maximize economic benefits for port operators.
