Sustainability and the Role of Traxit Wire Lubrication in the Wire Industry: Focus on Vegan Innovation

World Vegan Day is celebrated on 1 November, an occasion that not only marks the founding day of the UK’s The Vegan Society www.vegansociety.com, but also highlights the growing global awareness of ethical and environmentally friendly lifestyles.

Veganism has evolved far beyond food and now permeates many areas of daily life – including industry. A significant example of this is the world’s first Vegan Trademark for desiccants in the wire drawing industry, awarded to Traxit Wire Lubrication, a brand of Klüber Lubrication.

This certification not only emphasizes the commitment to sustainability and ethical production, but also opens up new opportunities for the industry. But what does this development mean for wire drawing companies, and why is the introduction of vegan and sustainable products in the industry so important?

 

The importance of the Vegan Trademark in the industry

The Vegan Trademark of The Vegan Society is awarded to products that neither contain animal ingredients nor have been tested on animals. Traxit Wire Lubrication was the first company in the world to receive this certification for its dry drawing lubricants – clear proof of the company’s innovative strength and commitment to sustainability. This has far-reaching implications for the wire drawing industry and signals that even with traditional products such as dry drawing lubricants, the production of nails, screws, staple joints and springs can be made more sustainable without compromising on quality and performance.

 

Sustainability as a Corporate Responsibility

In today’s economy, sustainability is no longer an optional goal, but a necessity. Companies around the world are under increasing pressure to make their production methods more environmentally friendly and to meet stricter ecological and social standards. This applies not only to consumer goods, but also to industrial products used in numerous sectors – from the automotive to the construction and furniture industries.

Traxit Wire Lubrication recognized this early on and has consistently geared its research and development towards sustainable and innovative solutions. The certification of vegan dry drawing lubricants shows how traditional industrial applications can become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. This is particularly relevant for wire drawing companies, which are increasingly looking for sustainable alternatives to meet their customers’ requirements.

 

Vegan furniture and the growing market for fasteners

A particularly interesting application area for vegan wire products is the vegan furniture market, which is part of the larger eco-friendly furniture segment. Here, demand is growing for products that do not use animal-based materials and are manufactured in a resource-saving manner.

Strong growth is expected for the global market for eco-friendly furniture until 2029. The industry is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.98%. In 2024, the market will reach a volume of around USD 52.7 billion, rising to over USD 81 billion by 2029 (source: https://horizon-markets.com). Vegan fasteners such as nails, screws, staples and springs play an important role here, especially in the production of mattresses, upholstery and furniture, where the use of animal-free materials is increasingly in demand.

 

The role of vegan dry drawing lubricants in the circular economy

Vegan dry drawing lubricants not only offer a sustainable alternative to conventional products, they also actively contribute to reducing energy consumption in production. Studies show that the use of vegan dry drawing lubricants can reduce energy requirements in production by up to 2% and the consumption of drawing lubricants  by up to 30%. This is a decisive step towards a circular economy in which resource consumption is minimized and recycling is maximized.

 

Reputational benefits and customer trust through sustainability

Companies that integrate sustainability and ethical behavior into their value chains gain a decisive competitive advantage. At a time when consumers and investors alike are looking for transparency and responsibility, the Vegan Trademark from The Vegan Society can serve as a seal of approval that strengthens trust in a company and improves its market position. Wire drawing companies that adopt these sustainable standards early on cannot only strengthen their reputation, but also benefit from the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions.

 

Innovation and securing the future

The development of vegan and sustainable products requires innovation and foresight. Companies such as Traxit Wire Lubrication, which are pioneers in this field, benefit from technological advances and position themselves as innovation leaders in an industry that is increasingly focusing on environmentally friendly solutions. The introduction of vegan dry drawing lubricants shows how established products can be rethought and adapted to the requirements of a changing market.

 

A step towards a more sustainable future

The Vegan Society’s first global Vegan Trademark for industrial products is a milestone that highlights the growing importance of sustainable and ethical solutions in the industry. Companies that embrace this trend not only assume ecological responsibility, but also secure long-term competitive advantages. The market for vegan and environmentally friendly products will continue to grow, and companies that put innovation and sustainability at the centre are ideally placed to help shape this development.

World Vegan Day reminds us that every choice – whether in everyday life or in industrial production – has an impact on the environment. Companies like Traxit Wire Lubrication that are taking this approach are actively contributing to a more sustainable future.
