Sustainability Partnership with Fanilo Incorporated:
Innovating for a Greener Future
At Katon®, sustainability is a core value that shapes how we work. In collaboration with Fanilo, a pioneer in advanced rubber recycling, we are taking concrete steps to improve the environmental footprint of high-performance sealing.
By incorporating regenerated FFKM, sourced from reclaimed rubber, as part of our material development process, we reduce waste and give valuable resources a second life. This partnership is built on the idea that smarter materials and responsible manufacturing can go hand in hand.
Together with Fanilo, we are turning sustainability into measurable action, offering greener sealing solutions without compromising quality or performance.
Contributing to a Circular Economy
Through our partnership with Fanilo, we transform production scraps into valuable resources. Instead of becoming waste, these materials are regenerated and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle, reducing environmental impact and extending the life of high-performance compounds.
This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to sustainable manufacturing, where resource efficiency and waste reduction guide the way we operate and innovate.
Meeting Customer Demands for Sustainability
At Katon®, sustainability is a core value that shapes how we operate. In collaboration with Fanilo, we focus on repurposing production scraps generated during our manufacturing processes. This approach reduces waste and maximizes the use of valuable materials within a controlled system.
It is important to clarify that we do not use recycled materials in our product compounds. Our priority remains delivering the highest quality and reliability for our customers.
This partnership allows us to advance our environmental goals while maintaining the performance standards our clients depend on. It is a practical step toward a greener future, without compromise.
Pioneering Green Innovation Together
Through close collaboration with Fanilo, Katon is addressing today’s industry challenges while shaping a more sustainable future for o ring and sealing technologies. By reducing waste and supporting the development of advanced recycling methods, we are helping set a new benchmark for environmental responsibility in the field.
Beyond waste reduction, Katon is also actively exploring solutions to the evolving challenges surrounding PFAS substances. We recognize the environmental concerns linked to PFAS and are working to reduce their presence and improve process safety across our operations.
Together with Fanilo, we are moving the o ring industry toward a zero-waste future, building a foundation where today’s innovations support tomorrow’s sustainability goals.
