We lead the way:
Sustainability and Climate Protection

A business model with a future

The economy of the future will be a circular economy. An economy in which products are manufactured as environmentally friendly as possible, used for as long as possible and recycled as completely as possible. Anyone who invests in used machinery makes an important contribution to achieving this goal.

Used machines save raw materials and CO₂

Every used machine sold on surplex.com saves considerable amounts of CO₂ and raw materials compared to new production. With around 55,000 machines and operating equipment going under the hammer every year, the CO₂ reduction amounts to around 25,000 t annually* - a considerable sustainability factor! We help to ensure less waste and more reuse. Our auction platform even breathes new life into old machines. On the world market, there is a sensible use for almost every product.</strongthe>

CO₂crisis: our customers are part of the solution

By purchasing used machines, our customers make a conscious decision for cost efficiency, short delivery times and more sustainability. We help buyers and sellers to achieve ambitious climate targets. The sales process itself is also becoming increasingly contactless and low-emission thanks to our services. When machine sales are perfectly prepared and smoothly handled, many trips around the globe can be avoided. As a result, not only our customers benefit, but also the planet.

Surplex puts an end to paper waste. That's why we signed a climate-neutral contract with our print office in April 2023. We reduce printouts to a minimum and train our employees in how to sign documents digitally (whenever legally possible). Only a few printouts cannot be avoided. The associated CO₂ emissions are offset by the service provider CLIMATE PARTNER through globally recognised climate projects with » certificates.
