More and more companies, municipalities and project developers are committing to sustainable charging. Not only because of legislation and regulations, but also because sustainability is simply the future. But what about the production of charging stations themselves? Circularity is playing an increasingly important role in this. At Ecotap, circular production has been central for years.
From design to recycling: circularity as a starting point
Circularity means that products are designed and manufactured in such a way that they can be easily reused or recycled at the end of their life cycle. For Ecotap, this is not a trend, but the standard. We develop our charging solutions with the entire life cycle in mind – from material selection to reuse. This allows us to reduce waste and significantly extend the life cycle of our products.
For you as a municipality, installer or entrepreneur, this means investing in charging stations that are designed with the future in mind: smart, reliable and sustainable.
Recycled steel and modular design
The housing of our charging stations is made from recycled steel – a robust and circular material that lasts for years and is fully reusable. But circularity is not just on the outside.
The interior of our charging solutions has a modular design. Instead of a central circuit board, we use separate components that are easy to replace. This means that entire parts do not need to be discarded during maintenance or in the event of defects. This not only saves materials, but also costs – an important advantage for parties with an eye for efficient management.
For installers, this also means faster and easier service. For resellers and partners, it is a strong selling point to end customers.
Sustainable production in collaboration with partners
Our circular approach does not stop at our own design. Ecotap collaborates with specialised production partners who have embedded sustainability in their processes. This includes the use of green energy, waste reduction, smart material flows and flexible production methods.
This collaboration has resulted in a smart charging solution that is not only technically reliable, but also has a minimal ecological footprint. In this way, we are contributing to the circular economy that the Netherlands – and an increasing number of European municipalities – are actively promoting.
Practical example: circular benefits for municipalities
A real-life example: a medium-sized municipality in North Brabant recently chose Ecotap because of the circular design of our charging stations. Thanks to the modular construction, damaged parts could be replaced locally without having to replace the entire station. The result: less waste, lower maintenance costs and higher uptime for the charging stations. This not only yielded environmental benefits, but also political goodwill – a clear win-win situation.
