Scope for sustainable industrial hoses
A platform for circular solutions of the future! Find out how Masterflex Group combines high performance, circularity and resource efficiency in its product design.
Circular Solutions for sustainable industrial hoses
Are you looking for a space for engineering innovation that’s perfectly suited to your application?
Our hub for circular solutions of the future is where early adopters develop and drive forward circular solutions.
Join us! Sustainable industrial hose solutions that are also cost-effective? That’s exactly what we’re aiming for! These Masterflex Group Engineering Services represent the next step in the development of industrial hose systems: from traditional high-performance hoses to circular, resource-efficient product and service concepts.
With our Group strategy, Hero@Zero – the systematic reduction of material consumption and CO₂ emissions across the entire life cycle – we have big plans. More sustainable industrial hoses made from plastic? It works!
The need for real innovation has never been greater. We can develop high-quality, healthy and recyclable alternatives that are beneficial for people and nature. A positive future is possible! Let's get started!

The future of hose systems: the circular economy at the Masterflex Group
As a manufacturer of sophisticated plastic solutions, we bear responsibility for material efficiency and recyclability. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasingly making the circular economy a key differentiating factor. Our customers in sectors such as aerospace, mechanical engineering, automotive, chemicals, life sciences and semiconductors are themselves under significant pressure to achieve sustainability.
We create genuine added value by providing more durable, repairable and recyclable solutions, such as sustainable industrial hoses. Is this exactly the topic you’re interested in, or perhaps a topic for the future? Get in touch!
Sustainable hose systems for industrial applications
Industrial companies are under increasing pressure to make their supply chains and products more sustainable. Circular Solutions address precisely this shift: they combine high technical performance with circular product design.
In this context, sustainability is seen not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of product development – from the choice of materials right through to reintegration into the production cycle.

Contact & Advice on Circular Solutions
The Masterflex Group supports companies by providing bespoke advice on circular solutions for sustainable industrial hoses and system solutions. Together, we analyse the specific application, technical requirements, material flows and replacement cycles in order to develop suitable approaches for greater resource efficiency, durability and recyclability.
The transition to sustainable product ranges is practical and step-by-step. The focus is not solely on material selection, but on the entire service life of the hose solution – from technical performance and extended service life right through to take-back, recycling or reuse schemes.
Pilot projects can be arranged to ensure a controlled introduction. These enable Circular Solutions approaches to be tested under real operating conditions, technical and economic effects to be assessed, and implementation to be scaled up in a targeted manner thereafter.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hoses for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industries
Was ist ein FDA Schlauch in Lebensmittelqualität?
Ein Schlauch in Lebensmittelqualität ist für den sicheren Transport von Lebensmitteln, Getränken, Pulvern und pharmazeutischen Produkten ausgelegt. Er wird aus Materialien hergestellt, die für den Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln zugelassen sind.
Why are dead spaces in hose and connection systems a cause for concern?
Dead spaces can harbour product residues, moisture and germs, thereby adversely affecting hygiene, cleanability and product safety.
When is an antistatic FDA-approved plastic tube a good choice?
Prevent the ‘Big Bang’ caused by dust explosions! An anti-static, FDA-approved plastic hose is particularly useful when conveying powders such as flour, as it safely dissipates electrostatic charges.
What is an FDA-approved plastic tube?
An FDA-compliant plastic hose is a plastic hose made from a material that meets the relevant FDA requirements for contact with food. This can encompass a wide variety of hose types and products. Many hoses also meet other relevant compliance standards.
How do I choose the correct food grade hose?
Selection depends on the media being conveyed, operating temperature, pressure requirements, flexibility needs and regulatory requirements. Our technical team can help identify the best solution.
Are antistatic food hoses available?
Yes. Several products within the range feature permanently antistatic properties for safer powder and granule conveying.
What industries use food grade hoses?
Food processing, beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, dairy processing and packaging industries commonly use food grade hoses.
Are Masterflex food hoses FDA approved?
Many products within this range comply with FDA requirements and EU 10/2011 food-contact regulations. Always check the individual product datasheet for specific approvals.
What is a food grade hose?
A food grade hose is designed for the safe transfer of food, beverages, powders and pharmaceutical products. It is manufactured from materials approved for food contact applications.
