Our targets

Prevex achieved operational carbon neutrality in 2023, thanks to investments in climate-neutral energy combined with carbon offsetting. In addition, we have successfully reduced our total carbon emissions by more than 45%. This includes all three scopes — meaning indirect emissions in the value chain as well. Our goal is to maintain this reduction going forward.

In April 2025, Prevex launched its first lead-free product versions. This was the result of a long development process in which we sought alternatives to the brass used in some of our products. Brass contains lead, which is harmful to both people and the environment, and analyses show that eliminating lead is one of the most impactful environmental actions we can take. Our long-term goal is to completely phase out lead and replace it with engineering plastics and stainless steel.

One of Prevex’s goals is to reduce the use of single-use plastics. That’s why we have begun work to offer alternatives to plastic packaging for our customers. By spring 2025, we had reached a point where we were technically ready to switch to cardboard packaging for customers who prefer it, and we had also started implementation with one customer. We also have plans to offer paper bags as a packaging option in the future.

60% of the plastic Prevex uses in its products is recycled. Currently, the recycled plastic comes from industry (rPP – recycled polypropylene). In the future, however, our goal is to use new materials with an even lower carbon footprint. Therefore, we are currently testing various materials to further increase the environmental benefit.
