Sustainability

Sustainability is a strategic pillar for Enplater Group. The group develops flexible and rigid packaging solutions aimed at reducing environmental impact, improving circularity and complying with European regulations. Investments in renewable energy, solvent recovery and production efficiency are driving progress toward a more sustainable industrial model.

Strategy and sustainable model

Enplater integrates sustainability across its entire value chain: design, production, energy, waste and certification. The plants are equipped with advanced systems such as solvent recovery, photovoltaics and efficient processes that reduce emissions and increase circularity.

Environmental strategy

Investments made at all Enplater Group production sites have strengthened a more efficient industrial model. The strategy is aimed at:

  • Offering a range of sustainable products for every type of product to be packed.
  • Ensuring continuity of supply with processes duplicated across different sites.
  • Holding environmental certifications that guarantee the reliability of the data.
  • Reducing the environmental impact of packaging without compromising its functionality.

SDGs

The Enplater Group Sustainability Committee integrates the Sustainable Development Goals related to renewable energy, circular economy, responsible production and emissions reduction.

Circular economy

Materials are designed to facilitate recycling, reduce waste and use recycled content where feasible. The main objectives:

  • Simpler structures that reduce rejects in recycling
  • Optimized thicknesses for lower logistics impact
  • Anticipating regulations to avoid obsolescence.

3Rs

Design aimed at reducing material, encouraging the reuse of resources and maximizing recyclability in line with the PPWR.

  • Reduce: optimizing structures to use less material without losing performance.
  • Reuse: designing packaging and processes that make better use of resources.
  • Recycle: enabling packaging to be reintroduced as certified recycled raw material.

Renewable energy

The group’s plants are equipped with photovoltaic installations that reduce emissions and the consumption of energy from non-renewable sources.

CO₂ reduction

Our approach to reducing emissions rests on four pillars:

  • Process innovation
  • Energy efficiency
  • Formulation optimization
  • Solvent recovery and reduction of the solvents used
