As the leading supplier of composite LPG cylinders, we have set ourselves ambitious sustainability goals that cover our entire value chain and are committed to playing an important role in the energy transition toward a cleaner and healthier future.
"Working with sustainability at Ragasco means using a science-based approach to develop and manufacture even more sustainable composite LPG cylinders. We strive to minimize our carbon footprint throughout our product's life cycle and to communicate our results with transparency, to all our stakeholders."
Our production's contribution to the carbon footprint of the whole lifecycle (LCA)
Hydro-powered manufacturing (Norwegian energy mix)
Proven lifetime of our cylinders (since start of production in year 2000)
We strive to make bottled LPG available worldwide, thus contributing to transforming lives by improving health, protecting the environment and empowering women by providing them with clean, affordable and readily available cooking energy. We encourage the development of a proactive culture of “safety and well-being”.
Our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) benefits from our use of renewable hydroelectric power, our lightweight cylinders that reduce carbon emissions during transportation, and their 25 years proven lifetime. Furthermore, we are ISO 14001 certified (Environmental Management). Guided by our Sustainability Strategy, our focus will remain on continuously improving our environmental footprint.
In partnership with our customer, suppliers and industry institutions such as the World LPG Associations (WLPGA), Liquid Gas Europe, Ibero American LPG Association (AIGLP) and other regional associations, we aim at setting the highest standards for reliable products and responsible business operations.
As technology pioneers in composite LPG cylinders, we have built a highly resource-efficient, world-class manufacturing capability since 2000. The commitment to efficiency is reflected in our ISO 50001 certification for energy management. Guided by our sustainability goals, our R&D continuously works to improve the environmental footprint of our products throughout the value chain.
• To increase the use of recycled materials in our cylinders to reduce the carbon footprint.
• To enable carbon credit tracking systems with our Linktra® software solution that verify the environmental benefits of switching to LPG.
• To engage in recycling solutions for composite materials through partnerships with industry leaders and research institutions.
• To achieve net zero by 2050 through i.e., renewable energy adaption and localized supply chains.
• To extend the cylinder lifetime and reduce the environmental impact through innovations in the product’s ecosystem.
The aim of the project is to achieve advanced use of Big Data from our fully automated and digitized manufacturing plant to strive towards Industry 4.0 and manufacturing excellence. The project is funded by NFR and in cooperation with the industrial partner BENTELER and with NTNU and SINTEF as research partners.
The aim of the project is to ensure a future circularity for mechanically recycled composite materials into the production of new demanding composite products and applications. The project is funded by NFR and is in cooperation with different industrial partners in Norway, including Amiblu, Vello, Steni and Ecofiber, and with SINTEF as research partner.
The aim of the project is to understand and utilize the properties of recycled composite materials for creating new products, with a focus on repurposing our composite LPG cylinders after their end of life. The project is funded by SIVA and is in cooperation with multiple industrial partners in Norway and with Sintef & NTNU as research partner.
The aim of the project is to transition our business model towards circularity by incorporating recycled thermoplastics. The aim is to reduce waste and maintain product quality. The project is funded by HMF and is in cooperation with the industrial partner Norner.
The project's aim is to innovate and create circular business opportunities by shredding composite materials, enabling their reuse in new products. The project is funded by HMF and is in cooperation with MTNC and NTNU.
We focus on six SDG's that are closely linked to our core operations and business strategy.
Our Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) are proof of our commitment to transparency and focus on science-based information to evaluate the environmental performance of our products.
We take ethical, environmental, social, and governance issues into account in every business decision we make.
