As global concerns surrounding climate change escalate, urgent measures are imperative to decrease the carbon footprint of the airport industry. Airports stand as significant contributors to carbon emissions, stemming from aircraft operations, ground transportation, and infrastructure, amplifying resource consumption and waste generation.
In response to the growing eco-awareness among consumers, prioritising sustainability not only aids cost reductions and boosts overall efficiency but also underscores ethical business conduct. It assumes a pivotal role in upholding a favourable reputation among travellers, thereby safeguarding the enduring prosperity of the aviation sector.

AMMdurance rPET: Empowering performance through sustainability
In response to these pressing challenges, Ammeraal Beltech takes pride in highlighting AMMdurance rPET, a revolutionary conveyor belt designed from fabric derived from recycled PET bottles. With each square meter of AMMdurance rPET, we repurpose 14 PET bottles, resulting in a substantial decrease in CO₂ emissions compared to conventional synthetic belts.
AMMdurance rPET boasts three primary advantages:
- Reduction in environmental impact
- Noise reduction
- High-quality performance
By using recycled materials, AMMdurance rPET champions plastic recycling while concurrently reducing carbon emissions by 70%. Moreover, its noise-reducing attributes enhance working conditions for airport staff and users, ensuring seamless communication and heightened productivity. Despite its sustainable design, this belt maintains stringent performance standards expected from Ammeraal Beltech while also reducing power consumption, minimising maintenance requirements, and extending the belt lifespan.
Given the compatibility of PET fabrics with diverse belting applications, including baggage handling, this combination represents a significant step toward achieving sustainability milestones within the airport industry.
Opting for AMMdurance rPET signifies a pledge to future generations, boosting your reputation and appealing to a clientele increasingly aware of environmental concerns.
