Used to Be Used®
A Circular Strategy for Sustainable Hygiene in the Food Industry. Reduce Waste and Resource Waste Through Smart Reuse!
What Does Used to Be Used® Mean?
Used to Be Used® describes our approach to designing Lagafors products and processes for reuse, in line with the principles of a circular economy. For the food industry, this means a sustainable and measurable hygiene strategy where resources are used more efficiently and waste is minimized.

The Core Principles of Used to Be Used®
Sustainable Design – For Refurbishment and Recycling
Our machines and products are made from robust, long-lasting materials. They are designed to be refurbished and recycled, which extends their lifespan and reduces waste.
Resource Reuse
By separating and filtering greywater on-site, we reduce the load on municipal wastewater treatment facilities and give you, as our customer, the ability to adapt water quality to your company’s specific needs.
Areas of Application
The principles behind Used to Be Used® can be applied across multiple industries. At Lagafors, we focus on the entire food industry. By using our products and processes, companies can reduce their environmental impact while saving both time and costs.
Measurability and Certification
Just like our Relentless Reduction® concept, Used to Be Used® is built on measurable results. With clear key performance indicators and certification, we ensure that sustainability efforts are concrete and transparent.
