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 advices. Sustainability is not an add‑on – it is 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 optimising designs with light weighting 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 moulding 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 embed 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 ambitions with the circular economy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Clear metrics help every site and every colleague contribute to meaningful change and measure progress over time.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Replace, Respect
We structure our circular economy work around three focus areas:
Reduce and reuse
- Operating an internal energy Management programme
- Creating lightweight solutions that use less material
- Improving packaging to minimise waste
Recycle and recover
- Using recycled feedstock where technically and commercially viable
- Reprocessing internal scrap into new products
- Designing repairable products with extended life cycles
Replace and respect
- Using bio based feedstock materials where appropriate
- Eliminating unnecessary processes
- Converting metal components to plastics when this reduces weight and environmental impact
Rosti and the Circular Economy
Rosti are 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 choice and end of life are critical. At Rosti, new products are analysed at concept stage so that they fit better within a circular model.
We evaluate material selection, tooling strategies, production technologies and each product’s potential for repair, reuse and recycling.
Our teams work closely with advanced material developers, machine producers 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 backed by practical actions, not just ambitions.
Making a Difference Throughout the Value Chain
We aim to make a meaningful difference at every stage of the value chain by acting as a trusted adviser. Even small design changes can deliver significant environmental benefits, so we proactively suggest next steps that improve sustainability performance without compromising quality or cost.
By combining engineering expertise, manufacturing experience and a strong sustainability focus, we help customers turn responsible ideas into real, manufacturable products.
On-Site Strategy Examples:
Rosti Europe
Our sites across Rosti Europe are dedicated to developing unique and innovative sustainability initiatives, and we’re committed to upholding high environmental standards.
Examples include:
- Supporting our customers in emission reduction – providing Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation tools and guidance to help reduce emissions.
- Recycling production waste – reusing materials and striving to minimize waste at every stage of production.
- Designing for recyclability – collaborating with customers to minimize plastic content and enhance the recyclability of products.
- Sustainable materials alternatives – We’ve helped customers from 10 sectors changed materials in their products to more green alternatives.
- Sustainable packaging – enable transition to reusable and returnable packaging solutions.
- Using renewable energy sources – we are progressively transitioning to 100% clean energy.
- Self-generated renewable power – investing in systems that enable on-site energy generation from renewable sources.
- Modernizing our machinery park – upgrading equipment to improve energy efficiency and minimize heat losses.
- Energy recovery – harnessing heat generated by machines as a secondary energy source.
- Reducing energy losses – optimizing production processes, compressed air systems, ventilation, and installation insulation.
- Smart energy management – implementing automated controls, sensors, and intelligent lighting systems to reduce unnecessary energy use.
