The jury recognized the design for improvements in logistics, material efficiency, and energy use across the automotive supply chain. SikaBaffle® AutoStack are thermally cavity-sealing parts used during the e-coat and paint process to protect vehicle body cavities from noise, dust, and moisture. The modular, stackable geometry increases packaging density by up to 200%, reducing CO2 emissions, storage requirements, and logistical costs. The use of recycled materials and low-bake curing technology reduces the product’s global warming potential and energy demand compared to conventional materials. The German Sustainability Award is Europe’s largest distinction for ecological and social responsibility. The award acknowledges products that make a meaningful contribution to five essential areas: climate, resources, nature, value chain, and society. According to the jury, the product demonstrated verified sustainability impacts, strong long-term scalability, and a clear commitment to circularity. “This award proves how targeted engineering can unlock real sustainability gains across the automotive value chain. With SikaBaffle® AutoStack, we turned a standard component into a high-impact solution that helps customers cut emissions, automate production, and drive efficiency at scale.” says Patricia Heidtman, Chief Innovation and Sustainability Officer.ABOUT THE GERMAN SUSTAINABILITY AWARDThe German Sustainability Award (Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis) is presented by the German Sustainability Award Foundation in cooperation with leading institutions including the German Sust...
