Carbon footprint reduction
Sustainability is a top priority for us, and we are constantly developing new solutions to optimise our carbon footprint. As an example, we utilise green energy from newly installed photovoltaic systems in several plants, proactively offer headroom reduction packaging to our customers, and minimise logistic emissions by taking advantage of our international plant network or using railway deliveries.
In addition we constantly offer our customers alternatives to plastic, such as our paper inlet with various applications, e.g. advent calendars.
Waste management
In terms of waste management, the priorities are to optimise separate collection and minimise the amount of hazardous waste (e.g. solvent and ink residues) through avoidance or substitution. A large number of projects to reduce waste in the production process are implemented.
Renewable energy
In order to achieve these ambitious goals, internal measures must be taken in particular with regard to energy efficiency and renewable energy. For example, our Polish integrated cartonboard and paper mill MM Kwidzyn has plans for investments that will further increase the already high proportion of renewable energy, which currently amounts to 65%.
Resource conservation projects
The development of innovative and more sustainable packaging solutions, which combines a high level of safety for packaged goods and consumers with the environmental benefits of resource conservation and recyclability, offers important opportunities.
