Commitment That Delivers
At MehlerHeytex, we build sustainability into every decision. As part of Freudenberg Performance Materials (FPM), we follow transparent, measurable standards that reduce environmental impact, protect people, and drive long-term value. Our approach combines technology, durability, and verified processes - transforming responsibility into action.
Our Approach
Sustainability means progress with proof. At MehlerHeytex, we align with FPM’s robust sustainability framework and the Freudenberg Group principles. Our focus covers three pillars:- Reducing energy, emissions, and waste
- Advancing circularity through recycled and durable materials
- Ensuring safety and ethical practices across the supply chain
Measured Energy Transition
FPM purchased 33.6% electricity from renewable sources in 2025.Expansion of waste Take-back System
Expansion of the material waste take-back system in compliance with legal requirements as a service offering for customers in Germany and throughout the EU.
"Sustainability is an integral part of our vision, our goals and our decision-making processes. We prioritise conserving resources, ensuring recyclability and minimising our environmental footprint. We develop innovative products and processes for the future together with our customers.”

Sustainability at MehlerHeytex
Our sustainability approach is aligned with the Freudenberg Performance Materials framework. We implement certified management systems such as ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001 and follow structured programs to reduce emissions, optimize resource use, and ensure supplier compliance. This means measurable targets and transparent actions in product development and daily operations.
Additional Resources
The key sustainability resources published by the Freudenberg Group and Freudenberg Performance Materials are listed below.
We implement the overarching roadmap of Freudenberg Performance Materials, adapted to our operations for measurable results.
CO₂ neutrality (Scope 1 & 2) by 2045, 50% renewable energy and 20% waste reduction by 2030, and 60% recycled raw materials by 2035.
We focus on reducing energy and waste, securing materials with proven recyclability (e.g., GRS 4.0-certified recycled PET in the base fabric), and ensuring safe and compliant processes.
Yes. CO₂ and energy data follow GHG Protocol standards, and audits comply with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
Absolutely. Employee safety, fair labor, ethics, and compliance with global standards (e.g., REACH) form part of the FPM governance structure
