Sustainable Hoses: From Theory to Practice

As a global market leader and award-winning top innovator, Masterflex closely analyzes the performance of its recyclable hoses. Through real-world operation in its own demanding manufacturing environment, the company gains reliable insights into service life and directly applies these to further development, quality assurance, and scaling. “What works for us also works for our customers under real-world conditions,” notes developer Jan Steinmann.

Hose Leadership and Innovation for the Circular Economy

“The Masterflex Group is well on its way to an eco-effective future. We still need plastics, but the right ones. This makes it all the more gratifying to use hose solutions developed according to the Cradle to Cradle principles at our own locations. When we have such confidence in our own products, it sends a strong and important signal to the industry,” says CEO Andreas Bastin.
The Cradle-to-Cradle concept was developed primarily by Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart and William McDonough and has gained international recognition. The basic idea is to design products so that they are either completely biodegradable or can be reused as technical nutrients in closed-loop systems.
