Sustainable development
Sustainable development is a key element Graboplast’s five-year GrabIT strategy. In the following, we will elaborate the objectives to be achieved during this strategic period which are in line with the sustainable development program previously defined by the company.
The program extends to the following fields:
- Raw materials, components
- Innovation, research & development
- Quality and environmental management
- Corporate social responsibility
Raw materials, components
Our experienced engineers are continuously working on developing new products, recipes, technical solutions and technologies. A number of our current products are based on proprietary procedures. In the case of product development, our fundamental goal is:
That the products conform to user demands throughout their life-cycle and that they are long-lasting, safe and easy to use.
They function as effective tools in establishing a healthy and aesthetic interior while contributing to the protection of the natural environment from the manufacturing stage to the reuse of products.

3R program
Our operation, methods and processes are continuously developed based on the principles of reducing, reusing and recycling products.
REDUCE
Resource management focuses on reducing usage in procurement, logistics, manufacturing, and packaging, while improving efficiency in water and energy management. It also involves classifying and reducing waste materials like paper, water, and manufacturing residues.
RECYCLE
Apart from our carefully selected raw materials and environmentally-friendly manufacturing solutions, it’s important for use that our products don’t burden the environment even at the end of their life-cycle. Accordingly, all of our products are 100% recyclable.
REUSE
Graboplast is at the forefront of the reuse of recycled flooring materials. At our own recycling plant, we convert manufacturing and installation residue into secondary raw materials that are used in the production of new flooring. 15-70% of our products contain such secondary raw materials.
Quality and environmental management
At all three of our sites, we operate a quality and environmental management system based on the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards.
This extends to planning, development, procurement, pre-production, manufacturing, quality control, reuse, warehousing, delivery, education, marketing and sales processes.
Corporate social responsibility
Our company’s corporate social responsibility program focuses on organizations in our immediate surroundings. Accordingly, we regularly support educational and sports institutions located close to our sites (Győr, Tatabánya, Kecskemét).
Apart from any financial and product support, we also provide regular support to institutions in our immediate surroundings focused on high-level professional training (e.g. Universitas Győr Foundation).
As well as occasionally supporting recreational and sporting events, we are also involved in the sponsorship of top athletes. We are proud of the outstanding international achievements of the athletes of the Graboplast Győr Watersports Association and their Olympic, World and European Championship performances.
