Sustainability Insights II: For a greener circular economy
How can KUKA contribute to a more sustainable circular economy in the robotics business? Katrin Schmidt and the KUKA Circular Services team have the answer: using robots for a second and third life cycle and reusing built-in components. The advantages for the environment and customers are huge – and the team has much more planned.
Circular economy is one of the most important approaches for a more sustainable economy and environmental protection. The term refers to the reuse and recycling of products. The advantage: natural resources are consumed more slowly, and greenhouse emissions are reduced.
Even though KUKA robots have a very long service life, Katrin Schmidt and her team also thought about how robots can be used beyond this life cycle – and thus even fulfil special customer requests. In the video, she explains how KUKA Circular Services works and what plans they have for the future.
