FAUN's reNew VARIOPRESS waste collection vehicle certified for recycled content

FAUN Umwelttechnik GmbH & Co. KG, located in Osterholz-Scharmbeck, has obtained official verification from TÜV SÜD regarding the recycled material content used in its reNew VARIOPRESS waste collection vehicle. This certification addresses significant components within the vehicle's manufacturing process.

The compliance document indicates that the reNew VARIOPRESS model, excluding operating fluids, contains a calculated 88% recycled material. The physically verified portion of recycled content stands at 39%. These figures are derived from relevant European and international standards that focus on the traceability of recycled materials and the determination of recycled and bio-based content.

FAUN's 'reNew' concept aims to enhance the environmental sustainability of its products by incorporating a substantial amount of recycled raw materials. This certification aligns with the company's objective to improve product durability and transparency concerning material origins, contributing to broader industry efforts in sustainable manufacturing.

The methodology for calculating the recycled material content is detailed within the associated test report. The document clarifies that the extrapolated recycled content is based on reference values for defined materials or material groups with available supplier data. The physically realized recycled content is determined from verified material inputs for individual components.

This attestation, issued on a voluntary basis, pertains to a specific sample tested. It does not provide a statement on the quality or safety of serial production products. The certification forms part of FAUN's wider commitment to implementing sustainable production practices within the industrial sector.
