Example of Sustainability: HYCUT ET 46

An outstanding example of our sustainability initiatives is our HYCUT ET 46 product, which combines high performance with sustainability, making it an excellent choice for companies that want to combine environmental responsibility with operational efficiency.

HYCUT ET 46 offers several sustainability benefits:

  • Renewable raw materials: 70% of the raw materials come from renewable sources, reducing dependence on fossil resources.
  • Environmentally friendly: HYCUT ET 46 is non-toxic to the environment (WGK1) and poses no risk to the environment when used correctly.
  • Circular economy: The product supports in-house recycling by being used first as machine oil and later as water-mixed cutting fluid, extending its life cycle and minimizing the amount of waste.

A special feature of HYCUT ET 46 is the calculation of the product carbon footprint (PCF). The PCFpartial* is 2.3 kg CO2e per kilogram and is determined based on the methodology of the European Independent Lubricant Manufacturers (UEIL) in accordance with ISO standard 14067:2018. We also take into account the biogenic carbon uptake, i.e. the CO2 absorbed by renewable raw materials during their growth, which significantly reduces the overall carbon footprint.

**The PCF listed here follows a cradle-to-grave approach that includes PCF shares, fossil, biogenic and dLUC contributions.  

  • PCFpartial, fossil: contains only fossil GHG emissions/removal in kg CO2e/kg lubricant
  • PCFpartial, biogenic: contains only biogenic GHG emissions/removal in kg CO2e/kg lubricant
  • PCFpartial, dLUC: contains only GHG emissions/removal resulting from direct land use change (dLUC) in kg CO2e/kg lubricant
