EKO-MATS INFORMATIONVIDEO
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS CONFIRMED!
Sustainable crane mats made of recycled composites – 100% recyclable
To have the environmental friendliness and harmlessness of eKo-Mats crane mats officially confirmed, Ko-Mats GmbH commissioned one of the world’s leading providers of testing, inspection and certification to analyze its composite dragline bulkheads.
The basis for the analysis is the Federal Soil Protection Ordinance (BBodSchV).
In the 2-month test, Kiwa GmbH proved that the eKo-Mats crane matting can be classified as harmless and environmentally friendly in terms of soil contamination and leaching!
No hazardous concentration of any hazardous substance was detected. All limits of the soil protection regulation were met.
Take advantage of the outstanding ecological benefits of eKo-Mats:
- 100% recycled composites
- Ready for the circular economy
- No environmentally harmful fungicides, pesticides, herbicides
- No negative effects on humans and nature
- No pollutants in soil and water
- Long lifespan
- Environmentally friendly – Quality assured
The outstanding ecological advantages of the eKo-mats are:
- Manufacture from recycled composite materials
- Positive CO2 balance during production, as opposed to incineration
- Ready for Circular Economy: after energy-efficient processing (shredding), the material is converted back into a new dredging mat.
- No treatment with environmentally harmful fungicides, pesticides or herbicides
- No negative impact on people and nature
- No pollutants in soil and water
- Long lifespan
