Less energy
We reduce energy-intensive processes across the whole production chain.
Sustainability
We develop solutions that turn consumption into circular models, for current and future generations.
“The future of our society depends on a stable climate and renewable energy. Our commitment is therefore to develop innovative solutions that can help transform the current consumption model into a more circular and sustainable one for present and future generations.”
The value of sustainability, to be real and effective, must necessarily permeate our every thought and every action we take as an ethical principle of responsibility. For this reason, we offer our customers solutions that meet increasingly advanced sustainability standards so that they can face the great challenge of the future.
We guarantee our collaborators a stimulating environment and training opportunities for the development of their skills, while at the same time committing ourselves to intervene towards the surrounding community. As a global company, we are moving towards our sustainability goals, such as decarbonising our facilities and increasing our sources of clean, renewable energy.
Less resources
We minimise the use of limited and non-renewable raw materials.
Less pollution
We cut polluting emissions through eco-design and material recovery.
Circular model
Six principles that guide every decision
From product design to carbon management, every stage is measured against the same test: doing more with fewer resources.
-
01
Eco-design
A creativity shaped by the principles of sustainability, expressed in the design of innovative and integrated solutions to improve the efficiency of processes and products, to optimise resources throughout the life cycle and recyclability.
-
02
Sustainable input
Choice of sustainable inputs to reduce the use of virgin and depletable inputs, favouring the use of renewable and alternative sources including secondary raw materials.
-
03
Reduce, reuse, recycle and recover
Maximise efficiency in the use of resources (including water and land) and minimise waste, using it as a new sustainable input and promoting its regenerative capacity.
-
04
Lifetime extension
Product life extension is the postponement or cancellation of the obsolescence of the product through a deliberate intervention, thus contributing, with a new use and a new life, to the circular economy.
-
05
Product as a service
Satisfying the needs of the user by maximising the life of the product and promoting its more effective and efficient use.
-
06
Circular carbon
A circular carbon economy is a framework for managing and reducing CO₂ emissions, which should be reduced, reused, recycled, removed and balanced for the residual part in the atmosphere.
Renewable resources
Produced from renewable sources, from a strictly selected supply chain.
Regenerated resources
Regenerated products that give new life to industrial by-products.
The value of sustainability
A central value that characterises all our choices and guides every strategic decision of our business.
We firmly believe in the need for a future based on deep attention to environmental aspects, operating in our daily lives in a responsible, sustainable and transparent manner towards our people, the community and our customers. For this reason, we engaged early in the research and selection of natural products while giving new life to industrial by-products otherwise destined for disposal: a new opportunity, a new use at the service of our society.
The eco-friendly range
- Bio-based products — derived from raw materials of vegetable origin, whose physical-mechanical and process characteristics are equal to traditional products of fossil origin.
- Regenerated industrial by-products — a product category that follows a “cradle to cradle” approach.
- Regenerated by-products in a bio-based version — a new frontier reached to further limit environmental impacts.
Our bio-based range responds positively to analyses relating to the absence of genetically modified organisms in the raw materials of origin and does not conflict with products used in the food chain.
LCA — Life Cycle Assessment
LCA is a tool that analyses the environmental impact of a product across every stage of its life cycle: extraction of raw materials, production, transport, use phase and final disposal. The method is standardised by the ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards.
Using simple but equally effective environmental indicators — such as climate change, the depletion of abiotic resources and photochemical oxidation — it is possible to quantify the exact impact materials generate on the environment and on society. We can now state that the use of regenerated material compared to a completely virgin material leads to a global reduction of the environmental impact.
With a view to future development, our Research & Development department is actively engaged in finding formulation solutions that allow the organic content of the range to increase, starting from an increasingly responsible supply chain and optimising technologically advanced production processes.
Our approach rests on six strategies: eco-design, sustainable raw materials, waste reduction and recycling, product lifespan extension, product-as-a-service models and the circular carbon economy.
We assess the environmental impact of our materials through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), measuring every stage of production.
