Sustainable materials

HAURATON have been manufacturing drainage channels for over 70 years. During this time the product range has evolved from what was once concrete channels with synthetic fibers, to now a reinvented and more sustainable fiber-reinforced FASERFIX and a lightweight RECYFIX composite channel made with recycled materials in the channel bodies.

Eco-friendly materials

The material composition used in manufacturing our products has shifted, as we have adapted new ways to lower our carbon footprint. Our solutions have been developed with the future in mind and greater consideration for the natural environment.

RECYFIX Granulate

Recycled material – Polypropylene

From small polypropylene granulate to long-lasting channels.

The RECYFIX channel body is produced from a variety of post-consumer polypropylene products, such as disposable bottles. In this way, valuable resources such as crude oil are conserved and the amount of waste is reduced for the benefit of the environment. RECYFIX channels are also PVC-free and can be fully recycled following lifetime use.

They provide a lightweight alternative that’s both easy to install and hard-wearing. RECYFIX has exceptional strength and durability as it can withstand dynamic forces and high traffic loads up to an F 900 load class.

Fibre di basalto

Renewable raw material – Basalt

Our FASERFIX channels are reinforced with basalt fibres. Basalt has many qualities such as flexibility, durability and resilience and it is a purely natural product.

What makes basalt so unique is its origin. It was once part of molten lava rock formed after a volcano erupted. From 40Km below the surface with a temperature of up to 1200 degrees. As it cooled, the magma solidified into basalt rock. For this reason, basalt fibres cope well with tension and pressure, heat and cold.

Our FASERFIX drainage channels are designed to withstand heavy traffic, weathering and chemicals. Reinforced with basalt fibres, they are recyclable, resistant, fireproof and – of course – sustainable.
