ThyssenKrupp Elevator’s enviromax® Earns Top Awards from Environmental Leader
enviromax is the industry’s first performance-improving vegetable-based fluid for use in hydraulic elevators.
ThyssenKrupp Elevator today announced its enviromax, received a Top Product of the Year Award in the Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards. enviromax, a 99 percent petroleum-free elevator hydraulic fluid, is the elevator industry’s first performance-improving, 100 percent recyclable, vegetable-based hydraulic fluid for use in hydraulic elevators.
The Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards recognizes excellence in products and services that provide companies with energy and environmental benefit or in projects implemented by companies that improved environmental or energy management and increased the bottom line. Judges for the award considered enviromax as an exemplary product. One judge said of enviromax, “an innovative and sustainable product helping the elevator industry and organizations at large to negate their environmental and social risks.”
Designed specifically for use in elevators and co-developed with BioBlend Renewable Resources LLC, enviromax is formulated from rapidly renewable, canola basestocks, is readily biodegradable and is a USDA biopreferred product with 96 percent biobased content.
“enviromax is formulated from materials that have minimal effects on the environment,” said Brad Nemeth, vice president of sustainability, ThyssenKrupp Elevator. “It offers building owners a sustainable alternative when installing and utilizing hydraulic elevators. enviromax also can extend the life of an elevator because it reduces energy consumption and the possibility of temperature related performance issues.”
