Producing in an environmentally-friendly way

Doing more with less! This sums up our goal when it comes to production planning and optimisation. As a result, we are constantly looking for ways to unite higher production and revenue with lower resource consumption. At present, 90 per cent of plastic waste and 100 per cent of metal scrap is recycled across our company.

We also strive to constantly improve our production processes through a variety of initiatives. Every year, we honour the most remarkable initiatives with a company ‘Continuous Improvement’ prize, which is awarded, for instance, to improvement projects with an environmental focus.

Watching​ our waste is a priority, globally

As of today, the world is producing 2.01bn tons of waste every year. This number is expected to increase dramatically. As a Group, we are committed to do all we can to reduce the waste we’re responsible for, not least because in 2017 China banned the import of waste from abroad. Until then, the country had been the main recipient and processor of hard-to-recycle plastic waste mainly from the West. ​

To manage our waste effectively, all our sites have waste management policies and providers. ​

In France, for example, we cooperate with Veolia. At least 95% of our collected waste there is either recycled or used for energetic recovery.​​
