Green plastics for electronic components
The time has come. Plant-based plastics are a top engineering topic at SCHURTER.
After undergoing numerous tests and acquiring extensive expertise through the development process, the Green Line appliance connectors are now going into series production as the first in a growing family of components. But what are green plastics exactly?
It is widely recognised that humanity must rapidly reduce its ecological footprint. Scientific findings demonstrate that our climate is changing faster than predicted.
At the SCHURTER headquarters in Lucerne, the most brilliant and inventive engineers are extensively engaged in innovative plastics. These are technical polymers based on renewable, plant based resources. These plastics replace and complement the crude oil-based materials in the housings of various appliance connectors.
