Waste management Environment
Our environmental management system provides a comprehensive framework for integrating waste management considerations into our business. For companies like Evertis operating within the circular economy, ISO 14001 helps support our efforts to minimise waste, maximise resource efficiency, and promote the reuse and recycling of materials throughout our operations. As part of our commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental stewardship, Evertis has proudly endorsed the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty. This international initiative seeks to address the urgent issue of plastic pollution by establishing a comprehensive framework for its reduction and proper management on a global scale.
By endorsing the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, we reaffirm our dedication to promoting sustainable practices throughout our operations, including our waste management system. As a company operating within the circular economy, we recognise the importance of effectively managing plastic waste to minimise its environmental impact and maximise its value. Our ISO 14001 - certified environmental management system aligns closely with the objectives of a Global Plastics Treaty. Through ISO 14001, we have established robust waste management practices aimed at reducing the generation of plastic waste, promoting recycling and reuse initiatives, and preventing the release of plastics into the environment.
Our zero scrap policy
Evertis follows a zero industrial scrap policy across all our facilities. This initiative encompasses the reuse of internal scrap from both multilayer and single-layer products, as well as scrap generated during equipment changeovers and machine stops and restarts. Any residual waste is responsibly managed by third-party entities in accordance with national regulations. In 2023 we lowered our waste from production processes to 3%, vs 5% in 2022, marking a notable achievement in our circular performance indicator. This reduction underscores the effectiveness of reusing industrial scrap in mitigating environmental impact.
