The RECKLI Sustainability Commitment
Climate change, digitalisation, urbanisation or the strengthening of human rights - all topics that also affect us as a company. To which we must react. Be it in the form of new processes. Or in the context of new product solutions. At the top of our agenda: the topic of sustainability. Particularly as part of the resource-intensive construction industry, we see ourselves as having a responsibility here. And we are happy to assume this responsibility - for our environment and for our employees. With the world's only ISCC PLUS-certified textured formliner, we are actively committed to realising a more sustainable world.
We love individual architecture. We love structures and unusual façades. To ensure that this will still be the case tomorrow, we have been working for some time on making our products more sustainable. We optimise our raw materials. We reduce the CO2 emissions of our products. We research recycling and substitution possibilities for plastics and packaging. And we advise on CO2-optimised concrete.
Equally important: our formliners can be reused up to 100 times. In this way, we reduce the amount of raw materials used to a minimum and save material and resources. For our model construction, we only use certified raw materials, which we source regionally as far as possible. Finally, as a globally active company, the shipping of our products also plays a major role. Here we take care to supply our customers all over the world as efficiently as possible.
Our RECKLI FormlinerECO can be ordered immediately and is available for every die product. Establishment in our existing processes guarantees the familiar high quality. Reusability, resilience and attention to detail remain excellent.
Composition of the raw materials
We source our raw materials exclusively from selected partners, which enables us to guarantee that 90% fossil raw materials are used. The quantities of fossil raw materials used are minimized.
Production of the Formliner
The manufactured polyurethane is then cast individually according to customer requirements. The die is characterized by its high reusability and can be used up to 100 times.
Production of the matrix raw material polyurethane
Our RECKLI formliners are made from our own polyurethane. We focus on the high requirements of the ISCC and thus guarantee a high level of sustainability throughout the entire supply chain.
RECKLI FormlinerECO
The result is the world's first sustainable formliner to date, which is used as a highlight in architectural concrete in particular. For this reason, RECKLI was awarded the ISCC+ seal.

In addition to protecting our planet, we are also aware of our social responsibility. Our employees are at the centre of this. Because one thing is important to us: with us, you are a human being. The fact that we take this seriously is demonstrated by our low staff turnover, long length of service and an open and family-like corporate culture that values healthy interaction. We also support and advocate cooperation with social institutions in the region. These include, for example, the workshops for disabled people (WfbM) in Gelsenkirchen and Recklinghausen.
We bring facades to life. Give them a face. Concrete is in our blood. That is our DNA - ever since RECKLI was founded in 1968. We are trendsetters. Providers of ideas. Experts. But also much more. And we are successful. Because architecture never stands still - and we have always evolved with it. We continue to do this today by investing continuously - in the research and development of our products as well as in the training and further education of our employees.
