The company places great emphasis on minimizing the negative impact on the environment, not only on a production scale. All employees are involved in this process on a smaller or larger scale, e.g. by segregating waste in every possible place in the company. Throughout the plant, employees are reminded to save water and electricity, but if they forget about it, special motion sensors control the consumption of utilities. The company also attaches great importance to reducing the volume of waste, e.g. in the form of PET plastic bottles – all employees have access to a special press for such bottles. Batteries and plastic caps are stored in specially designed containers, then they are handed over to organizations that deal with this type of waste. Solutions such as energy-saving lighting are also of great importance to us.
The Elplast company focuses its efforts on activities aimed at reducing the potential negative impact of our company’s operations on the natural environment. Our approach is most fully expressed in four key areas, which are energy consumption, water consumption, waste management and greenhouse gas emissions.
Our company uses energy sources in an optimal way – we reduce the energy costs of the building by using geothermal heat pumps. Heat pumps transport geothermal heat into the building using a small amount of electricity.
During the production process, a large amount of heat is generated, which is distributed throughout the building as an additional source of heating. Thanks to this, we have resigned from the need to use coal, fuel oil or gas, and thus we do not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
We also save water – process water that we use for production purposes circulates in a closed circuit and is reused after filtering and purification.
An important issue of our activity is also waste management. Waste generated during production is transferred to external companies dealing with waste recycling.
