The organisation’s carbon footprint

The main target for 2023 is to calculate the company’s carbon footprint in SCOPE 1 and SCOPE 2

To this end, a team has been set up to:

demarcating the boundaries of the organisation
inventory of emitters
gathering data
calculation and calculation of specific emission factors for the organisation.

A methodology in line with GHG PROTOCOL was chosen as the calculation procedure

Recycling content

In 2022, we used approximately 5,345,000 kg of recycled materials.

The associated saving on CO2 emissions is approximately 5 050 000 kg CO2eq estimated on the recycled content of the base polymers.

In 2022, we launched the GROW™ water systems product line containing recycled materials.

Energy saving photovoltaics

In 2022, investments were made for 2 pilot photovoltaic installations on 2 sites: 50kWp and 100kWp.

In 2023 we plan to realise:

By mid 2023 a further 2 pilot installations on 2 sites
By the end of 2023 – expand all existing pilot installations to a total capacity of approximately 3200 kWp

The current stations have produced 3.38 MWh, saving 1.6 tonnes of CO2eq (data from the PV installation app)

Energy saving other investments

Further energy-saving investments are being introduced in the operations of individual locations:

Planned for 2023:

heat exchanger using heat from chillers cooling process water to heat sanitary water and office space ( 1 location )
replacement of fluorescent lamps with LEDs – completion of investment ( 1 location )
heat pump for pre-cooling of process water ( 1 location )

In 2022 implemented:

replacement of fluorescent lamps with LED
individual workstations in the assembly and packaging area have separate switches, thus saving electricity for the central lighting of the entire production hall)
stairwell lighting activated by motion detectors
an installation that uses the heat from the cooling of the extruder heads to heat the raw materials in the hoppers
heat exchanger using the heat from the chillers cooling the process water to heat sanitary water and office space
time switches for battery chargers for electric forklift trucks (avoiding the consumption of electricity in STAND-BY when the batteries are charged – such consumption can amount to 100W/1 hour

Health and safety at work
