Vulkoprin develops, implements, monitors and evaluates an organizational policy aimed at continuously reducing waste and using raw materials more efficiently.

“Not-producing” is the best contribution to sustainability

Vulkoprin polyurethane wheels and technical moulded parts are made from raw materials that lead to a product with “durable” wear. In this way, the product remains operational longer than alternative PU’s and will therefore be replaced and reproduced less quickly.

Alternative energy sources & lean production

The use of environmentally friendly energy sources, permanent monitoring and lean processes, guarantees that the company’s objectives are achieved with minimal impact on the environment.

ISO 14001 certification

Vuolkoprin is ISO 14001 certified. This internationally accepted standard with requirements for an environmental management system was developed by the International Organization for Standardization. The environmental management system is used to develop an environmental policy appropriate to the organisation and to ensure its implementation.

ISO 45001 certification

ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.

Circular economy

Vulkoprin offers a service where the wheel is refurbished according to a certified process.

The worn polyurethane is removed from the wheel cores in an environmentally friendly way.

Vulkoprin R&D, together with a number of key suppliers and customers, investigates the technical and economic possibilities to evolve towards a circular economy.
