Producing and distributing by adopting low environmental impact behaviors is a challenge that our company has accepted with conviction for some years now. From the purchase of the latest generation machinery to packaging, from the choice of lubricants to cups for coffee, we are orienting our choices thinking about future generations.
This year the European Union will reach an important milestone: by July 2021, all member countries will have to transpose the Directive 2019/904 on the reduction of single-use plastics, which represent 50% of the total waste found at sea. A truly challenging year, as covid-19 resulted in increased production of single-use plastics.
We are sure that traditional industrial sectors, such as ours, will first demonstrate sensitivity and ability to adopt sustainable and virtuous behaviors.
We have analyzed where single-use plastic is most used in the daily life of our company and we have planned a path, setting clear objectives to eliminate its use.
Our goal…
We made a promise: within the first half of the year, all our product packaging will be biodegradable. An initiative that joins the others we have already adopted in the company for protecting the planet, including the purchase of highly energy-efficient machinery, the use of vegetable-based oils, zero water consumption vacuum washing cycles, 100% of production waste recycling.
There is still a long way to go. We have started.
