Packaging Reduction in Poland
Ambition To support the strategic driver of conducting responsi- ble business, our largest production facility in Poland, Window Village 1, is working with DOVISTA’s ambition of zero unutilized waste. For 2021, a 10% reduction in unutilised production waste compared to 2020 was targeted. This target was met, limiting the packaging of finished products as well as reducing the amount of disposable packaging within the production pro- cess. The best practice from this initiative is now being shared across the organization. Performance in 2021 • 10% reduction in unutilised production waste compared to 2020 • 19% decrease in weight of waste compared to 2020 What we did Initiatives for limiting the packaging of finished pro- ducts included: • decreasing the height of plywood • reusing wood scrap to replace cardboard corners • removing the use of square foams and felt material • using packing robots with pre-stretching to decrease the amount of foil used, and removing bottom foil
• fixing products for transport with less wood • using new plastic corners to decrease the amount of plastic used • changing packaging procedures to decrease the amount of wood used for single units (doors, windows) and sliding doors Initiatives for reducing the quantity of waste include: • Replacing cardboard boxes with reusable plastic packaging • Multiple use of cardboard boxes between facilities • Reuse of foil and plastic coils Initiatives for 2022 In 2022, we will be changing pressure containers to reusable containers, which will reduce packaging waste. The packaging for glue products will also be reduced in 2022. 1
