Rosti
Shaping Sustainable Solutions for Tomorrow
Rosti is committed to shaping sustainable solutions throughout the value chain. Design and redesign are powerful levers for change, and we use them to reduce environmental impact while keeping products commercially viable.
We work closely with our customers to lower emissions and develop circular, sustainable solutions backed by clear guidance and expert advice. Sustainability isn’t an add‑on – it’s embedded in how we design, engineer, and manufacture.
By combining customer collaboration with our material knowledge and design expertise, we help improve your sustainability performance by optimizing designs with lightweighting and responsible material choices while encouraging circular design principles. The design and redesign phases play a crucial role in sustainability. We provide global high-precision molding and contract manufacturing
services that bring your concepts to life.
Let’s challenge your design—together.
Rosti Sustainability Vision
“To be the preferred partner to bring Sustainability
from concept to reality by innovating
circular sustainable solutions”

Our Sustainability Framework
Our Sustainability Framework defines how we incorporate environmental, social, and governance responsibility into everything we do, from concept to reality.
- Vision and 6 R principles
- 2030 measurable commitments
- CSRD and ESRS alignment
Our 2030 Commitments
We have aligned our goals with the circular economy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Clear metrics help every location and every employee contribute to meaningful change and measure progress over time.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Replace, Respect
We organize our circular economy efforts around three key focus areas:
Reduce and Reuse
- Running an internal energy management program
- Developing lightweight solutions that use less material
- Enhancing packaging to minimize waste
Recycle and Recover
- Using recycled feedstock whenever technically and commercially viable
- Reprocessing internal scrap into new products
- Designing repairable products that have extended life cycles
Replace and Respect
- Utilizing bio-based feedstock materials where appropriate
- Removing unnecessary processes
- Switching metal components to plastics when it reduces weight and environmental impact
Rosti and the Circular Economy
Rosti is committed to supporting the need to
improve the environment for future generations.
Across our industry, we see a clear shift from a linear economy to a circular one, where material selection and end-of-life are critical. At Rosti, new products are analyzed at the concept stage so they fit better within a circular model.
We evaluate material choices, tooling strategies, production technologies, and each product’s potential for repair, reuse, and recycling.
Our teams work closely with advanced material developers, machine manufacturers, and our customers to reduce environmental impact and support communities and the wider planet. These efforts are rooted in our values of partnership and integrity and are supported by practical actions, not just aspirations.
Making a Difference Throughout the Value Chain
We strive to make a meaningful impact at every stage of the value chain by acting as a trusted advisor. Even small design changes can deliver significant environmental benefits, so we proactively suggest next steps to improve sustainability performance without sacrificing quality or cost.
By combining engineering expertise, manufacturing experience, and a strong focus on sustainability, we help customers turn responsible ideas into real, manufacturable products.
