PLASGEN MATERIAS PLÁSTICAS S.L, is enrolled in the Equal Opportunities Plan (Code 41112512112023), with effect from 19-05-2023 to 18-05-2027, through the REGCON ECONÓMICO platform.

– We reduced our C02 emissions by 5.5% (-78,300 kg), following the conversion of our entire fleet of forklifts from diesel to electric. – We achieved a 2% reduction in our water consumption. – We managed and recycled more than 100,000kg of plastic waste, returning the excess to the value chain to be processed once more into the final product. – We replaced traditional lighting across our installations with latest generation LED lighting and motion sensors, reducing our CO2 emissions by 2%.

– We ensure that at least 50% of our electricity is generated from renewable sources. – We efficiently adapt our productive technology for minimal CO2 emissions and zero industrial waste, our fundamental principle being the reuse of surplus produce and minimising the use of natural resources. – Efficient purchasing – We consider environmental aspects for all purchases of machinery, raw materials, packaging, etc, with the objective of minimising any associated environmental impact. – We operate an efficient paperless policy. It is estimated that 24 trees are cut down for each tonne of paper. Implementing an e-billing system is more than a simple gesture to the environment. According to a study by the SERES Foundation, every million invoices printed implies the use of 10 tonnes of wood. The paper industry is one of the highest generators of air and water contaminants, as well as gases which cause climate change. We ensure that the little paper we use is 100% recycled and certified. – Our commitment to the environment is reaffirmed with the implementation and certification of the environmental management system ISO 14001:2015.

Granting our staff the opportunity to do their part to improve the environment, reducing the CO2 generated by their vehicles.

In this way, we encourage our staff to come to work by bicycle, rewarding their efforts with financial incentives.

For PLASGEN

We manufacture products using fewer materials, water, energy, etc, generating less waste which needs to be properly managed. We adapt our production processes, standardising designs and production techniques, enabling us to reduce our consumption of raw materials for each application we manufacture, thereby minimising our environmental footprint.

For our clients

Our clients buy a more long-lasting product, which requires less energy or consumables to work and can be easily adapted. We provide our clients with technical advice on products and materials to achieve a reduction in film thickness, resulting in a notable reduction in consumption.

For our society

Society benefits from a greater availability of resources which can be used for other products and services. Due to the reduced environmental impact, there is a saving on treatment and restoration costs.
