We are pleased to introduce Phoenix Contact’s new generation of bio-based device connection technology—an important step toward sustainable product development and CO₂ reduction.
For the first time, Phoenix Contact is using bio-based plastics in select product series, which are derived primarily from the castor bean plant. These thermoplastic materials meet all technical and regulatory requirements—without any limitations compared to conventional plastics.
Key advantages of the bio-based product lines
- Significant CO₂ reduction: The use of renewable raw materials measurably improves the product’s environmental footprint.
- Resource conservation: Consumption of finite resources decreases significantly, and the plastic recycling cycle is strengthened.
- Consistent quality: The sustainable variants meet the same specifications as the existing series—no redesign is necessary.
- Transparency through PEF: Phoenix Contact determines the “Product Environmental Footprint” for its products, making their environmental impact traceable.
First Available Products
The transition already affects several key product categories:
- MKDS 3 PCB Terminal Block
- RJ45 Connector, Version 6
The new bio-based product variants allow you to design your applications to be future-proof, resource-efficient, and environmentally conscious—without compromising on performance or quality.
If you have any further questions or would like to request samples, your contacts in the office and/or field sales teams will be happy to assist you and provide you with a personalized quote.
