We want every Cartotecnica Moderna packaging to respect the Planet
UTMOST ATTENTION TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: GREEN BY DESIGN
Aiming at maximum sustainability, we have established a strategic plan of interventions on existing products and on the development of new products, defining the guidelines for producing all types of packaging in a sustainable way and with completely recyclable properties: green by design. p>
Two classes of packaging based on environmental virtuosity are thus born, GREEN and GREEN+, an added value for the product and for the brand that offers it. In the last two years, we have migrated many models from conventional to GREEN or GREEN+. The goal is to increase the share of "converted" products by 20% over the next three years.
SUSTAINABILITY CREDENTIALS
- we use recycled or FSC® certified (coming from ethical forest management) paper and cardboard: we use 100% FSC paper and 80% FSC cardboard (with the aim of reaching 92%) p>
- we limit the use of non-recyclable accessories and choose alternative materials for the finishes (for example paper handles that can be recycled, instead of polypropylene)
- we only use inks for printing water-based, with low environmental impact
- we only use glue of vegetable origin, with low environmental impact, to replace the vinyl glue
- we carry out the lamination with cellulose acetate, with a reduced environmental impact, instead of plastic derivatives
- we buy all the paper in Italy and we are gradually reducing the supply of accessories from abroad
- we select and monitor suppliers, to identify those more in line with our green objectives: we choose valuable partners, able to contribute to the creation of sustainable products with a positive social impact
INTERVENTIONS ON THE PRODUCTION SITE OF SOLOMEO, PERUGIA
We have carried out a series of interventions aimed at reducing the energy consumption of our production site:
- we use 100% electricity from renewable sources and only high quality LED lights latest generation with low consumption
- we have external blinds that increase the area and hours of shade, with the aim of lowering the temperature of the premises and reducing the use of air conditioning
- continuous evaluation and mapping of the machinery, to ensure that they always work in a condition of maximum energy efficiency
