Sustainability through elevator modernization

Elevator modernization is fully in line with Motum’s support for the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted byUNmember states in 2015. Our ambition is to become a leading player in sustainability and drive the development of sustainability within the industry. Modernizing elevators means we protect the environment while improving the quality of life for those who live and work in the building.

Elevator Modernization: The Climate-Smart Choice

Combating climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. At Motum, we often advocate modernizing elevators instead of tearing them down and installing new ones. This allows you to keep the parts that work and are in good condition, while replacing parts that are worn out or can be replaced with better components—for example, to increase reliability and reduce energy consumption. This way, you can have a modern and safe elevator while preserving its original character.

Together with Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, we have produced areportshowing that modernization results in at least a 50% reduction in environmental impact compared to installing a new elevator. Modernizing an elevator isn’t always possible, but it is more often than many people think. Motum is the obvious choice if you’re considering modernizing an existing elevator in your building.
