Product stewardship
Innovations and technical progress are key factors in mastering the challenges we face in the areas of natural resources and infrastructure. And this is exactly where ThyssenKrupp's strengths lie: Our engineering competencies enable our customers to stand out from the global competition and manufacture innovative products efficiently while conserving resources. With our engineering expertise and experience in the areas of "Material", "Mechanical" and "Plant", we can provide "better" ways to achieve "more".
Our solutions help our customers with environmental and climate protection. When developing our innovative materials, components, system solutions and plants, we ever since place great value on environmental compatibility, energy efficiency, climate protection and recyclability. In view of the global trend, these aspects will become even more important for our customers in the future than they already are today. Accordingly, the different aspects of environmental and climate protection play a fundamental role in all our innovation processes.
ThyssenKrupp has an outstanding engineering competency. For our company it is therefore of high relevance to further strengthening innovation management, research and the development of complex products and services. Consequent product responsibility for ThyssenKrupp means looking the whole value chain of products – e.g. via Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) e.g. according to the norm ISO 14025. To this end, all new systems and components for elevators, escalators and moving walks will undergo Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to ensure sustainable efficiency over the whole life cycle of each and every product.

Demand for electricity from renewable sources is growing rapidly. ThyssenKrupp companies offer innovative solutions for wind turbines.
In the InCar project, a kit containing more than 30 innovations for body, chassis and powertrain has been developed which allows sustainable improvements in weight, costs, functions and emissions.
ThyssenKrupp Elevator optimizes elevators
As elevators account for a significant share of the energy consumption of buildings ThyssenKrupp Elevator is optimizing its elevator portfolio with regenerative drives, motor efficiency controllers and LED lighting.
ThyssenKrupp Polysius cement production
Our plant specialist ThyssenKrupp Polysius has developed environmentally friendly technologies for all steps in the cement manufacturing process, e.g. the use of processed waste materials for heat generation.
Electromechanical steering assistance from ThyssenKrupp Presta Steering
As a result of the conversion to the production of electromechanical power-assisted steering systems instead of hydraulic systems, ThyssenKrupp Presta Steering has been able to dispense completely with hydraulic oil.
Electrical steel from ThyssenKrupp Electrical Steel
Electrical steel sheet from ThyssenKrupp Electrical Steel reduces core losses in transformers to less than 1%.
Conveyors from ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik
Using conveyor belts from ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik in raw material extraction saves energy and reduces material loss during handling, thus contributing to resource efficiency right from the start of the value chain.
ThyssenKrupp also offers a wide range of environmental protection technologies:
Uhde’s EnviNOx® process breaks down nitrous oxide and is used in fertilizer production.
Sheet piling from ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik
Sheet piling from ThyssenKrupp GfT Bautechnik prevents water loss through its enhanced water-tightness.
