Material efficiency starts with product design and means using the right material, in the right amount, in the right place with a balanced relationship of quality, cost, availability and sustainability. Julia Bikidis has been a project manager for CO2 reduction in Festo’s product portfolio since mid-2022. A major focus here is the material efficiency of our products. We consider these in a multidimensional way: We use lightweight construction principles to reduce the amount of material used for product manufacturing. Julia Bikidis, CO2 reduction project manager at Festo By recycling residual materials, we make better use of the amount of material used. A targeted selection of materials from optimised supply chains or from sustainable raw materials, taking into account quality, cost and availability, also increases material efficiency. 78 79 Festo SE & Co.
