SPALECK was recently awarded the silver medal in the EcoVadis rating. This pleasing result reflects our company’s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. But what exactly does the EcoVadis rating mean and what value does it have for us and our customers?

What is the EcoVadis rating?

The EcoVadis rating is a globally recognized evaluation system that analyses the sustainability performance of companies. Four main categories are assessed: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. These categories provide a comprehensive overview of corporate practices in terms of social responsibility and sustainable business practices.
Using a systematic evaluation process, companies are assigned a score that reflects their individual progress in the various categories. The silver medal that SPALECK has now received indicates above-average performance and proves that we are implementing sustainable and positive measures in the areas of action covered by the rating.

The importance of ratings for companies

The EcoVadis rating has far-reaching significance. It serves not only as a tool for self-assessment, but also as proof to our partners, customers and other important stakeholders that we as a company take our social responsibility seriously. In an increasingly environmentally conscious business world, many companies are actively looking for certified suppliers who also adhere to environmentally friendly and socially responsible standards.
For SPALECK, the silver medal is confirmation of its consistent approach to sustainability. This award supports our strategy as a green machine manufacturer to promote sustainable solutions in recycling technology, water treatment, Contract manufacturing and Surface finishing. The positive results from the rating show that the measures implemented to date in the areas of resource conservation, emission-free production processes and fair working conditions are on the right track.

Transparency and continuous improvement

An important feature of the EcoVadis rating is the possibility of continuous improvement. The rating not only provides companies with an up-to-date assessment of their performance, but also targeted feedback and suggestions for improvement. SPALECK uses this information to continuously optimize its own sustainability strategy.
With our detailed sustainability reporting, we attach great importance to transparent and responsible business practices. This creates trust and long-term partnerships with our customers and suppliers.

Outlook for the future

The silver medal is an incentive for us to intensify and further expand the existing measures. Our SPALECK team is delighted to be part of a community in which sustainability is forward-looking. Membership of the EcoVadis network and the silver medal are just some of the many steps we are taking to achieve both our corporate goals and global sustainability targets.
For interested parties and partners who would like to find out more about our commitment to sustainability, our team is always available for an exchange. We look forward to exchanging ideas with you!

Frequently asked questions

The precise design of a tension-shaft screening machine is always tailored to the recycled material. Factors such as the composition of the input material, its moisture content, contaminants, throughput requirements, and the recycling goals associated with the input material form the basis for this. Working with you, we define screening sizes, purity requirements, and throughput rates, and use this information to configure the exact machine settings—from screening panels to amplitude and machine features such as the SPALECK FineSideCOVER (FSC) or our MultiDECK technology with a split push rod. Learn more here about our ModularDESIGN+ concept, which we use to find the optimal screening machine for your material. We’d be happy to test the respective recycling material together with you free of charge at the SPALECK TestCenter.

Precise screening of the fine fraction results in clearly defined particle sizes. For example, if the fine fraction ranging from 0 to 10 mm is reliably screened out, downstream sorting equipment—such as eddy current separators, NIR sorters, sensor sorters, and X-ray sorters—operates more reliably and efficiently as a result. In addition, the system’s cleaning requirements are reduced, and higher material purity levels can be achieved. You can see a good example of the benefits of a tensioned-shaft screen in the reference video on municipal solid waste processing at our Swedish customer Tekniska verken. The video demonstrates how a SPALECK tension-shaft screen reduces the load on the downstream eddy current sorters and NIR sorting processes. You can find all the details about the project here.

The service life of screening mats for Flip-Flow screening machines depends heavily on the recycled material, the Recycling process, and factors such as the abrasiveness of the material stream. In many recycling applications, very long service lives are possible. Thanks to our bolt-free, modular clamping system, individual screening mats can be replaced quickly and easily as needed. You can see how this works in the video on our landing page for tension-shaft screen machines. You can get a competitive quote for replacement screening mats through our spare parts service.
