Sustainability at Lutz Blades: more than just a project
Our strategy: ECO-PLUS for sustainable production
In today’s world, it is essential to assume ecological responsibility, which is why we are constantly working to improve our environmental impact and avoid negative effects. To achieve this, we have set up our own environmental management system, ECO-PLUS, and integrated it into our company processes. With ECO-PLUS, we are committed to meeting defined environmental targets in the best possible way and implementing continuous measures. The “Plus” in ECO-PLUS symbolizes the various building blocks that we use to achieve our goal of sustainable action. The ECO-PLUS label will also be used to identify our packaging in future.
ECO-PLUS label
The ECO-PLUS label from LUTZ stands for our commitment to sustainable packaging solutions. For example, the labeled packaging has always been recyclable due to the pure separation of recyclable materials:
0Recyclable
0Recyclate
With the ECO-PLUS label, we want to offer our customers sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions and at the same time fulfill our responsibility towards the circular economy. LUTZ BLADES strives to make its business processes more sustainable and to continuously improve its environmental impact.
ECO-Plus modules
At LUTZ, we attach great importance to maintaining our ECO-PLUS strategy. Our commitment to this is reflected in our environmental policy, our ambitious targets and the measures we have taken. Existing and integrated management methods strengthen the structures behind ECO-PLUS and form the framework for defining our numerous ECO-PLUS building blocks

Sustainability at LUTZ
Our ECO-PLUS strategy encompasses all interested parties, including customers, suppliers, employees, society and all locations. ECO-PLUS covers all of the company’s activities, products and services, including our core processes and the associated environmental impact. Specifically for our site in Solingen, the scope of application applies to the development, design, manufacture and sale of cutting systems, blades and knives.
With this comprehensive approach, we ensure that our environmental impact is continuously monitored and improved in order to make a sustainable contribution to environmental protection. In addition, we ensure conscious and sustainable action within the company.
Recycling at LUTZ
Sustainability is firmly anchored in our production processes, which is particularly evident in our approach to recycling. We produce our packaging such as the Flip-Box, Lutz-Pack, Pull-Box and SC-Container ourselves. Our packaging is 100% recyclable. We also use recycled materials in our production processes, for example in injection moulding, in order to minimize the environmental impact and conserve valuable resources. Up to 38% recyclate is used in the production of our plastic packaging.
By consistently recycling packaging material, we not only help to reduce waste, but also promote the circular economy. Our packaging is designed to be used multiple times and easily recycled at the end of its life cycle. In this way, we make an important contribution to sustainability and strengthen our responsibility towards the environment.
