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 13). We set ourselves ambitious targets.
For years, we have been working to reduce our CO2 emissions, with the aim of maintaining a trend of -1% emissions each year from 2020 onwards.
Through a series of targeted initiatives and investments, we are constantly working to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.

Responsible Waste Management

Divisione Cromaplast si impegna a promuovere la produzione e il consumo responsabili, adottando pratiche sostenibili in tutte le fasi del ciclo di vita dei nostri prodotti. 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 utilise advanced technologies to clean and filter waste, ensuring that the surrounding environment remains protected and that unused materials are responsibly reused. We have installed high-efficiency filtration systems to capture any harmful substances and minimize the environmental impact of our production process.

Sustainability Report 2024

The Cromaplast Division presents its 2024 Sustainability Report, a document that outlines our concrete commitment to responsible, long-term development.

The Report outlines our approach to sustainability across environmental responsibility, people development, and transparent governance.

It reflects a journey based on continuous improvement, concrete actions, and accountability towards our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate.
