Responsibility
As a manufacturer of electronic devices and print products, we rely on the use of different raw materials, as well as on suppliers from all over the world. We acknowledge these realities.
Sustainability is one of our core corporate values. We feel responsible for the environment, natural resources, and future generations.
We know many stakeholders in the sports industry want to reduce the ecological footprint of their events. We are happy to contribute to this goal as far as we can. We have taken concrete steps to reduce the environmental footprint of both our products and manufacturing processes.
Passive Transponders and Race Bibs
We have calculated the carbon footprint across the entire supply and production chain. You can use these values to include them in the environmental balance of your sporting event. (Values for 2024)

Why Tyvek® for race bibs?
We print all bib numbers on Tyvek® because there is currently no other material with similar properties for the demands of sporting events. Tyvek® is deformable like paper and has a textile-like fleece structure. It is waterproof, tearproof and lightweight. Tyvek® is 100 % recyclable.
Disposal of passive transponders and bibs
Passive transponders contain an electronic chip and should therefore be disposed of with e-waste. On request, we will take care of the proper disposal of your start numbers and passive transponders. This is free of charge. To ensure smooth processing, we ask you to inform us in advance before sending such a shipment.
Return of Electronics
As a distributor of electronic devices, we are obliged under EU law to take electronics back free of charge and dispose of them properly. If you would like to send us hardware or active transponders that are no longer required, please let us know in advance.
What we do specifically:
Since 2021 we are officially a carbon-neutral company.
We have calculated our CO₂ footprint according to the standards of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol scopes 1, 2 and 3 and have compensated for the calculated amount with certificates from climate protection projects.
