Valeo Canopy™ Wins German Environmental Award!

Awards Season

Partslife is a German organization that focuses on promoting and implementing sustainable environmental practices like waste management.

 

Thomas Fischer, the Managing Director of AAMPACT, gave a speech in which he lauded Valeo’s product development and the sustainability of Canopy™ wiper blades.

Resulting in great amounts of CO₂ savings, Fischer called on distributors and workshops to make active use of Canopy™, both in Germany and beyond.

 

What is Valeo Canopy™?

With Valeo Canopy™, Valeo launched a more sustainable wiper blade created differently, with the obsession of reducing the environmental impact without compromising performance. Produced with rubber compound made from over 80% natural, renewable, or recycled materials, Valeo Canopy™ is the first wiper blade to reduce CO₂ emissions by 61% (certified by Bureau Veritas).

 

Today’s consumers are now taking into account sustainability as well as quality when it comes to their purchases. Valeo Canopy succeeds in being both more sustainable and retaining excellent wiping quality.

 

Manufactured in France and packaged in recyclable cardboard, Valeo Canopy™ is a holistically created product that reduces environmental impact across the entire supply chain.

 

Valeo supports a Road Safety NGO

Along with the Partslife Environmental Award, Valeo was given 2,500 euros in prize money. Valeo immediately donated this money to TEILEn e.V. — an NGO that specialises in road safety education for children.

 

Almost 30,000 children suffer road accidents in Germany every year, a statistic TEILEn e.V. wants to drastically change. And with their “Roter Ritter Mobil” — a traffic school on wheels — they aim to do just that.

 

Given to police authorities and traffic wardens to use on traffic safety days in day-care centres and schools, these traffic schools are already helping improve road safety in many regions across Germany.

 

Sustainability = Excellence

With Valeo Canopy™, distributors, workshops, and drivers can be assured that they use a sustainable product with excellent wiping quality.
