Sustainability
Lankhorst Rail's KLP® Hybrid Polymer Sleepers turn plastic waste into high-performance, fully recyclable railway infrastructure. Sustainable and superior.
Let's build railroads for the future
At Lankhorst, we believe sustainability isn’t just about recycling, it’s about rethinking the value of materials. Since the early 1980s, Lankhorst Engineered Products has been transforming waste plastic into high-performance products, making our KLP® Hybrid Polymer Sleepers the ultimate evolution of this up-cycling philosophy of converting low-value waste into premium railway infrastructure that outperforms traditional materials.
This isn't recycling, it's up-cycling at its finest. We take discarded plastic waste and engineer it into railway sleepers that deliver 50+ years of superior performance. Only after this extended service life we recycle the materials back into new sleepers of identical quality. Our sleepers deliver 50+ year service life, require zero maintenance and at the end of their lifecycle, every component can be recovered and reused to create new sleepers of identical quality.
Responsibility drives innovation
At Lankhorst Engineered Products, innovation begins with responsibility: for the quality of our products, the safety of our people, and the future of our planet. That’s why we invest in stronger systems, safer workplaces and more sustainable materials. Together with our partners, we create meaningful impact, every single day.
