SUSTAINABILITY

The final puzzle piece in semiconductor sustainability

FFKM is one of the most chemically resistant elastomers, and its cost and limited recyclability have kept it out of circular business models. Fanilo regenerates FFKM in a closed loop, from production scrap to used parts that fabs return to the seal maker.

≥ 90%

Minimum share of scrap returned as usable material

~90%

Lower production emissions than virgin fluoropolymer. Estimate, excluding transport.

01 / VALIDATION

UL 2809 validation

UL 2809 covers both the recycling process and the quality of the recycled material.

Recycling process standards

The recycling process must follow defined procedures so that the recycled material keeps its original performance and quality.

Recycled material quality requirements

The recycled material must pass quality tests for reliability, durability and performance in its applications.

02 / VISION

Our vision in the semiconductor industry

The semiconductor industry generates hundreds of tons of FFKM waste every year, and most of it is discarded as hazardous waste. Our vision is to close that loop: used FFKM O-rings and seals go back to the company that made them, and return to use through Fanilo.

01

Promoting zero-waste practices

Develop and apply recycling methods for FFKM so that less material ends up in landfill or incineration.

02

Enhancing resource efficiency

Bring recycled material back into the production cycle and reduce dependence on virgin raw materials.

03

Supporting sustainable development

Follow environmental standards and help semiconductor companies meet their sustainability targets.

04

Innovating recycling technologies

Keep improving our own recycling process so that recycled material keeps its performance.

05

Collaborating with industry leaders

Work with manufacturers, suppliers and industry organisations in the semiconductor supply chain.

03 / PARTNERSHIP

Circular Rubber Platform

Fanilo joined the Circular Rubber Platform in July 2025. The platform brings together companies working on the circular economy for rubber and elastomers.
