SUSTAINABILITY
Water Treatment and Recycling:
In our plant, we bio-treat 100% of the water we use. This allows us to reuse over 90% of it in production and means only clean water returns to the soil.
Energy Efficiency:
Our factory is equipped with a cogeneration energy system that uses natural gas to create steam. This steam is also used in the manufacturing process, allowing us to generate 80% of the electricity we use in the plant on site.
