Our history

Since our company was formed, we have actively chosen to take on a decisive role in the process of waste minimization by reducing the amount of produced waste, although limited to our corporate capacity as a single business.
 

The amount of waste that humans generate is constantly increasing. Reusing materials destined for disposal implies reducing the amount of waste to dispose of, as well as contributing to protect available natural resources. However small, our effort plays an important role in production and has to be supported by ethical and sustainable consumer choices.

 

Making the right choice is key to preserving natural resources, through the reuse of products, hence reducing the need for new raw materials and therefore the consumption of electrical energy. Thinking about the future now is the only way to make a difference.
