Reduction of CO2 emissions

Our goals regarding emissions.

Emissions are directly linked to energy and how it is generated, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The societal transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a significant step towards a more sustainable society.

One of our main objectives is to focus on climate protection (SDG 12). We set ambitious goals.
For years, we have been working to reduce our CO2 emissions, aiming to maintain a trend of -1% emissions each year since 2020.
Through a series of targeted initiatives and investments, we are constantly working to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.

Responsible Waste Management

Cromaplast S.p.A. is committed to promoting responsible production and consumption by adopting sustainable practices in all stages of our product lifecycle. We strive to reduce waste, optimize resource usage, and promote material recycling and reuse, thus contributing to mitigating the environmental impact of our operations.

In our commitment to sustainable production, we responsibly manage manufacturing waste. Since 2019, we have initiated numerous research activities to recover manufacturing waste according to circular economy principles, minimizing our environmental footprint.

We actively engage in reducing, reusing, and recycling materials to maximize their value. For example, wood is returned to new wood, paper and cardboard are recycled back into paper and cardboard, and cans are given a new lease of life.

Our waste management philosophy also includes the potential reuse of productive materials in other processes. We invest in technologies that reduce overall environmental impact.

In our commitment to sustainable waste management, we pay particular attention to the waste from the chrome plating plant. We employ advanced technologies to clean and filter waste, ensuring that the surrounding environment remains protected and that unused materials are reused responsibly. We have installed high-efficiency filtration systems to capture any harmful substances and minimize the environmental impact of our production process.

Well-being of People

Cromaplast S.p.A. is committed to promoting the health and well-being of its employees through corporate wellness programs, workplace safety policies, and access to quality healthcare. We strive to ensure a safe and healthy work environment, promote healthy lifestyles, and preventing workplace illnesses. (SDG 3)
