Logo recycling programme chainge

Simply have old energy chains recycled

We take your old plastic energy chains back with us when we install the new ones. In our recycling programme chainge, we separate by type, keep what we can return to production as regranulate and pass the rest on to recycling partners. You will receive a value voucher from igus. The special thing: we take all plastic energy chains, no matter who the manufacturer is. When requesting installation, simply ask for recycling as well.
