On 26 December 2004, the earth shook in the Indian Ocean with a magnitude of 9.1. The epicentre was around 85 kilometres off Sumatra. The result: a devastating tsumami that claimed the lives of around 230,000 people. In order to better predict such quakes in the future, an innovative measuring method with fibre optic monitoring has now been developed with the support of the European Union. The special cable for this comes from LAPP.

Sustainable raw materials, reducing the CO2 footprint, efficient logistics and compliance with new regulatory requirements – these are the topics on which LAPP is focusing. The Stuttgart-based supplier of connection solutions is developing pioneering solutions for the future, in which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected.

In a world that increasingly demands sustainable innovation, the development of sustainable plastic solutions plays a crucial role, as this material is used almost everywhere in our modern society. From sterile products in medical technology, to insulation for energy-efficient construction, to protection for perishable food, modern living standards would be unthinkable without plastics. But is it possible to use so-called “green materials” in industries that rely on the use of certain plastics? Silvia Lajewski, plastics technology expert and Research Engineer Compound Technology at LAPP, explains how she uses her expertise to develop and use environmentally friendly plastics at LAPP.
