Circular economy
Circularity is evolving into a key driver for GEA
Being circular means transitioning from a traditional linear to a circular approach – therefore comprehensively designing products with their entire life cycle in mind. This approach encompasses material procurement, product development, customized service offerings, and coordinated end-of-life management.
Our goal is that all new GEA solutions will be circular-ready as of 2030.
Our cicularity targets for responsible innovations
Sustainable solutions & materials
Circular design principles will be established and implemented as of 2025. All GEA solutions will be offered with a zero freshwater-use option by 2030. >50% of lower emission steel and overall increased share of sustainable raw material in GEA solutions by 2030. Service parts as well as packaging material will fulfill one of the 5R’s of circular economy (Reduce; Re-use; Repair; Remanufacture; Recycle) by 2026.
Service offerings & activities
Aiming for service sales growth of >6% CAGR and 40% service sales share by 2030. Increase revenue from refurbishment or second life initiatives by 2030. All new GEA solutions will be provided with end-of-life instructions and offerings as of 2030. 80% of the GEA serviceable iBase will be connected by 2030 to increase availability and productivity through digital solutions.Our cicularity targets for resilient operations & communities
