Vulkanfiber SAVUTEC® - Hightech made in Wuppertal

Vulcanized fibre SAVUTEC® is without question a high-tech product that provides a solution to numerous ecological problems of the present and future. It is therefore all the more astonishing that this revolutionary material was developed by the family business Sachsenröder as early as the end of the 19th century. Aktive-online.de dedicates an article to the history of vulcanized fibre made in Wuppertal and shows that innovation [...]

Vulcanized fibre as a renewable material - the only limits are set by the imagination

Renewable raw materials We showed in our last blog post that numerous products can be manufactured without plastic using vulcanised fibre as an alternative. However, the renewable raw material is also suitable for many other applications that previously used non-renewable raw materials. In this text, we would like to present three arguments in favour of vulcanised fibre. These arguments show [...]

Vulcanized fibre: From tradition to innovation

It is now well known that global plastic production poses a threat to our environment. Our blog has therefore already taken up the topic of environmental pollution through plastic. A solution to this problem could be a traditional material. May we introduce: Vulcanized fiber, the effective alternative with which the world of tomorrow can manufacture numerous products without using plastic. […]

Vulcanised fibre - The 100% PLASTIC FREE plastic

The problem About 70 years ago, plastics became a mass product. 8.3 billion tons have been produced since then - in the meantime, we consume about 335 million tons annually worldwide, of which about 12 million tons are in Germany. After mostly very short periods of use, 79% of the indecomposable plastic is stored in landfills or in the environment. Polluting plastic is problematic because [...]

Vulcanized fiber as a sustainable packaging alternative

In today's world, the issue of sustainability is becoming increasingly important. The consumption of plastic in the world must be reduced so that the oceans and the environment as a whole can be relieved. In addition to this idealistic motivation, the end customer is also paying more and more attention to sustainable materials. Therefore the topic "alternative packaging" can not only protect the environment but also [...]

Vulcanized fibre with UV lacquer coating

Innovative product developments, as they are currently being created again in our partner network InnoNet BL, show it more and more clearly: Sustainable products are becoming more and more important! In order to adapt the properties of vulcanised fibre to the respective product-specific requirements, we are constantly working on new coating possibilities, for example. The new results of vulcanized fiber coated with UV varnish look very promising! This makes vulcanized fibre SAVUTEC® water-repellent [...]

Chocolate packaging made of vulcanised fibre SAVUTEC®

Food packaging made by Sachsenröder The first chocolate packaging made of vulcanised fibre SAVUTEC® - we guarantee 100% natural fibre free of additives for the purest pleasure! The ecological food packaging was presented for the first time at Chocolart 2016 in the home town of SAVUTEC®, in Wuppertal. Here the tuffi truffles from Wupperliebe were packed in volcanic fibre. The demand here is very high, so [...]

Screen printing - an optimal carrier

Continuing the search for new applications for the sustainable vulcanised fibre, the first print samples have now been produced using the screen printing process. The results - surprisingly good hold of the lacquers and a great look - were obtained by Wallraff-Groß Siebdruck & Service from Wuppertal . They agreed to test vulcanised fibre SAVUTEC® with various screen printing lacquers. With their years of experience they are open to [...]

Handmade food bowls - Restaurant-Day 2016

The team of GENERATIONDESIGN GmbH took this year's Restaurant Day at Arrenberg as an opportunity to live out their creativity in the area of Foodtrend with a snack. The combination of many favourite dip variations and different types of bread resulted in an extraordinary and varied taste experience. The food was eaten from handmade bowls made of the sustainable vulcanised fibre SAVUTEC®. Two further special properties of the material made it the [...]

Electrically conductive vulcanized fiber

Using an ink-jet printing process, it has been possible to make the electrically outstanding insulating vulcanized fiber partially conductive. The conductive tracks consisting of silver nanoparticles open up a wide range of possibilities for conducting electricity via a flexible, extremely durable natural product. Thus, in the future, SAVUTEC® could provide the LED illumination of an acoustic light module in addition to the load-bearing function in the acoustic module developed with the InnoNet BL company network. With [...]
