We're developing a new approach to sustainability in the rental industry
As part of the circular economy, klarx helps drive sustainability across all 4 areas: production, energy consumption, logistics, and extended product lifecycles. This gives us the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of construction equipment by up to 54% (Source).
Across the four pillars of the circular economy in the rental industry, klarx supports sustainability through:
- Increased utilization of construction equipment and reduced raw material tied up in inventory
- Lower energy consumption through modern construction machines
- Reduced fuel consumption via our regional procurement strategy
- Shortened transport distances to less than 50km, significantly cutting logistics costs and CO² emissions
- Reduced carbon consumption through proper recycling of construction equipment in our fleet
The solar industry is one of our focus industries, where we have extensive experience and have already supported many customers—from mid-sized to large companies—in building solar and photovoltaic systems. Thanks to our own logistics centers and our inventory of more than 530,000 construction machines, we always have the right equipment on hand and can support solar builders with our expertise on their construction projects.
With modern machinery and short transport distances, we promote sustainable solar project development.
One of our solar customers is rnp Solar GmbH, which was able to streamline its procurement processes with klarx and can now rent the machines it needs 24/7 thanks to our software, klarxMANAGER.
In collaboration with the Zeppelin oil lab, klarx was able to test the hydraulic oil from 65 machines this year. This allowed us to save 5,028 liters of hydraulic oil and further reduce environmental impact. Based on the success of these tests, we're already planning additional types of oil tests for several more machines from our logistics centers.
klarx stands for sustainability and it's one of our goals to drive this forward in the construction industry. Read more here about sustainability, forecasts for the construction industry, and solar systems.
Construction Industry Forecast 2025
The construction industry is facing major changes. Looking ahead to 2025, it's clear that topics like digitalization and sustainability are becoming increasingly important. But how can construction companies really implement this transformation?
Sustainability in the Construction Industry
Europe must become climate-neutral by 2050 - the construction industry needs to make significant changes to achieve this goal. klarx presents 3 solutions that make this path to greater sustainability straightforward.
Solar Installation Project
One way to achieve greater sustainability is through solar systems that use renewable energy and help reduce environmental impact. klarx supported a construction project in Sengenthal where a 7.7 megawatt solar system was realized.
