European Transport Award for Sustainability goes to Engen-based company allsafe

Engen, 23.11.2021 - The Engen-based company allsafe has been awarded the European Transport Prize for Sustainability 2022. The prize is awarded every two years for particularly sustainable products and solutions in various categories. This year, the jury of scientists, experts and journalists chose allsafe's "all:change" solution as the category winner. With "all:change", the Engen-based company has developed an economical process for repairing aluminum load securing devices and keeping them in circulation. "all:change breaks with the preconception that conserving resources and sustainable business practices cost extra money: The solution is cheaper for the customer than buying new," explains the responsible product manager Matthias König. In view of rising raw material prices and uncertain supply chains, allsafe's repair idea has come at just the right time. At all:change, existing but damaged load securing devices are checked, repaired and returned to the customer at the plants in Engen and Fürstenwalde. This only requires around 50% of the resources and energy that would be needed to produce these parts from scratch. Overall, allsafe estimates the potential of all:change to be at least 8,000 tons of CO2 savings per year.

According to its own information, the company has already been working on this solution for more than five years, and many well-known haulage companies and industrial enterprises put their trust in it shortly after its market launch. "We want to become the pioneer of the circular economy - the award confirms that we are on the right track," Detlef Lohmann, managing partner of allsafe, is pleased to say.
