Sustainability
Concrete, not claimed.
Four projects, three figures — calculated for our plant in South Tyrol. What is running is marked as running; what we are still calculating stays open. A target is not an achievement.
Figures
| Figure | 2025 | Target 2030 |
|---|---|---|
| CO₂ intensity, kg CO₂e per kg of material | 2.54 | 2.0 |
| Specific electricity use, kWh per kg | 1.9 | 1.3 |
| Recycled content, contact-sensitive | — | 10 % |
The recycled quota for contact-sensitive applications is not a voluntary target but a requirement of the EU packaging regulation from 2030.
Cooling with groundwater instead of electricity
Rather than running the cooling on electric chillers alone, we use water from our own deep well. Every kilowatt-hour saved that way cuts CO₂ emissions directly — environmental protection you can check on the electricity bill.
Mono-material design
PP mono-material packaging to RecyClass Design-for-Recycling, with no foreign materials in the label. The handle too is plastic rather than metal, so the bucket stays single-material and does not have to be taken apart before recycling.
NextCycle IML
Together with MCC Verstraete we are working on removable IML labels with RecyClass approval 2021-PP-010. On coloured PP containers they are already approved; for white and natural containers they are still in development.
Reusable transport packaging instead of single-use cartons
Around 6,000 pallets leave us each year in single-use carton boxes. We are working out whether folding reusable containers can replace them — returning on the same lorry, first as a trial on one fixed route. It has not been decided yet.
