Working toward a leaner and safer future

At Elacin, sustainability is part of how we protect people and the world around us. Our focus is on healthy hearing for the long term and on sustainable hearing protection that supports safer workplaces. As part of our commitment to sustainable workplace safety solutions, we continuously work to reduce waste and operate responsibly.

Elacin holds the ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems. This international standard supports our efforts to work efficiently, reduce waste and operate responsibly. It reflects our ambition to lead the European market in sustainable hearing protection. 

Long-lasting protection

Our custom products support sustainability through long-term use. In comparison with common disposable earplugs, custom hearing protection offers a more sustainable and cost-efficient solution for both professional settings and leisure activities. It reduces waste, requires fewer materials over time and delivers consistent comfort, reliable protection and clear communication for every user.

At Elacin, quality, safety, and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. That is why we operate in accordance with internationally recognized standards for quality and environmental management.

All Elacin hearing protectors are tested, certified, and carry the European CE marking. As Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), our hearing protection products comply with strict European requirements.

Our management systems are independently audited by DEKRA, while our manufacturing processes and product conformity under the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 Module D are monitored by the notified certification body QUINTIN Certifications (NB 2927).

Continuous innovation and sustainability

Thanks to certification in accordance with the European PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 Module D, our manufacturing processes are independently audited each year by QUINTIN Certifications (NB 2927). This certification confirms that every hearing protector leaving our production facility conforms to the certified type and meets all applicable European requirements.

As a result, we can guarantee consistent fit and quality. Additional fit testing is not required when replacing hearing protectors, saving time and helping to reduce CO₂ emissions. Only in Germany and Switzerland does local legislation require fit testing for replacements.

This enables us to combine high-quality hearing protection with an efficient and more sustainable way of working.

In addition, we continuously focus on key sustainability initiatives, including:

  • Sustainable paper management
    To offset the environmental impact of our paper consumption, we plant nearly twice as many trees as we use, actively contributing to reforestation and supporting biodiversity.

  • Minimizing single-use plastic
    Through targeted process improvements and greater awareness, we successfully reduced single-use plastic bags by 22% compared to 2023, significantly cutting plastic waste across our operations.

  • Climate-conscious mobility
    Our transition to electric vehicles has significantly reduced CO₂ emissions from company cars, achieving a 34.5% decrease per euro of turnover. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainable mobility and climate-conscious operations.

  • Long-term waste reduction
    By promoting Custom Hearing Protection (CHP) over disposable foam plugs, we save 3.5 kg of waste per user over a five-year period. This includes packaging and product lifecycle considerations, reinforcing our dedication to sustainable product choices.
