Railsponsible, the rail sustainability initiative, is excited to announce that Lucchini RS SpA has been awarded the 2024 Supplier Award during this year’s InnoTrans event in Berlin. Lucchini, a global leader in rail components and steel casting, has earned this prestigious recognition for its exceptional commitment to sustainability, circular economy practices, and the preservation of the natural beauty surrounding its headquarters at Lago Iseo. 

 

Since its inception in 2021, the Railsponsible Supplier Award has celebrated suppliers who demonstrate excellence in a selected topical area. This year’s theme, “Innovations in Circular Economy: Awarding Innovative Circular Ideas and Schemes”, focused on projects that drive resource conservation, extend product lifecycles, and minimize waste.  

 

Lucchini has set a remarkable example in the rail industry by pioneering a train wheel recycling project, which impressed our esteemed jury with its technical innovation and environmental impact. The project not only reduces emissions and conserves high-quality steel but also establishes a robust network of partners to facilitate an efficient reverse logistics process. Lucchini’s efforts are a true reflection of the values and goals of circularity. 

 

In addition to celebrating Lucchini’s achievements, Railsponsible would also like to recognize this year’s runner-up, Prysmian S.p.A. Prysmian has developed a groundbreaking solution for recycled signaling cables, giving a second life to common plastic waste. This industry-first innovation transforms plastic waste into a high-quality product for the rail sector, demonstrating a significant leap forward in sustainable materials.
