Since the origins of our company we have always believed in technological innovation as one of the main tools for offer better and more competitive products. This is why we dedicate a large portion of our turnover to investments technology and the renewal of productive infrastructure.
Moreover, we believe that environmental responsibility is a fundamental value, even in the plastics sector. We are committed to improving the environmental sustainability of our production processes and to seeking more eco-friendly solutions, such as compostable materials. We also pay close attention to the management of production waste, which is carefully sorted by material type to ensure effective recycling and promote its subsequent regeneration.
In some cases the choice of more efficient processes has allowed us to obtain better results and at the same time to reduce the environmental impact of production. The printing machines of the latest generation allow for example to use much less color than what was used with the old concept machines, with a much higher yield and with a lower use of solvents.
In 2009 we also installed a photovoltaic system able to partially meet our needs energy and to contribute to the protection of the environment.
In 2019, alongside the relocation to our new operational headquarters, we made a further investment in renewable energy by significantly expanding our photovoltaic system. This upgrade allowed us to increase the company’s energy independence, reduce the environmental impact of our production activities, and take another concrete step forward in our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
That a plastic processing company talks about green might seem hardly credible. It is true that plastics pollute the woods, the seas and also the edges of the roads, so we will not try to add grist to our mill by exposing all the advantages they bring to our lives. In our small way, however, we are concretely committed to reducing the environmental impact, because even a plastics company is made up of men who live in this world, breathe this air and drink this water. Just like everyone. Like everyone, therefore, we want a clean and healthy world, welcoming for us and for our children.
This is why we have chosen to use ONLY energy from renewable sources, partly by purchasing it, partly by producing it with photovoltaics. Furthermore, we recycle all our processing waste by reintroducing it into the production process to give it a second life. We regularly receive the PRS Green Label. As a cooperative partner, we actively contribute to the circular recycling system pallets, maximizing their recovery and reuse whenever possible.
The last but not least action that we undertake for sustainability is the purchase of latest generation machinery, capable of minimize consumption and create a better product, also in terms of environmental impact. And in our everyday life we travel with electric cars, because we believe that the commitment to the environment is not only made up of words but of concrete daily gestures.
