Environmental Responsibility

Sustainable Plastics Manufacturing

Environmental responsibility is a core part of our operations. We view plastic as a valuable raw material and are committed to promoting its recyclability and efficient use. In the future, environmental performance will also play an increasingly important role in the selection of our subcontracting and supply chain partners.

Our Objectives

• Reduce our carbon footprint by 5% annually.
• Reduce waste generation by 5% annually.
• Increase the use of recycled raw materials by 5% annually.
• Implement product-specific carbon footprint calculations by 2027.

We monitor our electricity consumption and continuously strive to improve heat recovery efficiency while reducing our reliance on district heating.

Products and Materials

We design plastic products to last throughout their entire lifecycle. We select the most suitable raw materials for each application and optimize structural design and manufacturing methods to ensure durability and performance. At the end of a product’s lifecycle, our primary goal is recycling, with energy recovery considered only as a last resort.

As part of our product development process, we always evaluate the possibility of using recycled plastics. Recycled materials are both more environmentally sustainable and more cost-effective than virgin plastic raw materials. We make extensive use of various recycled plastics from industrial sources, as well as Circo® recycled materials produced from post-consumer plastics.

Choosing recycled materials enables immediate emissions reductions and supports both the calculation and reduction of a company’s carbon footprint.

We promote the circular economy by selecting materials with a long and sustainable lifecycle. The more times a material can be reused and recycled, the greater its environmental value. Replacing virgin plastic with recycled plastic helps conserve natural resources and reduce carbon emissions.

In Our Production

Energy Efficiency and Certifications

We have certified ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 14001 Environmental Management systems in place, enabling us to demonstrate our commitment to responsible and sustainable operations to our customers.

We completed the calculation of our corporate carbon footprint in 2024. Our objective is to update the calculation annually and reduce our carbon footprint by 5% each year. Our first comprehensive carbon footprint assessment, covering the period 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024, serves as the baseline year for future measurements. The report includes consumption data from the company’s various emission sources as well as site-specific emission factors (CO₂e).

Our Energy Efficiency Measures

• Investment in a modern, energy-efficient machinery fleet
• Conversion of the heating system from oil heating to district heating
• Replacement of lighting with LED technology
• Replacement and sealing of building doors and windows to improve energy efficiency
• Replacement of a diesel-powered forklift with an electric forklift
• Optimization and consolidation of production and facility space

Social Responsibility

A Responsible Employer

We are committed to being an attractive employer that prioritizes the well-being of its employees. Developing occupational safety, professional competence, and workplace satisfaction are key priorities for us. We promote these areas systematically through practices aligned with the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. All positions within our company are open and suitable for people of all genders.

Our Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) reached 20 in 2026 on a scale of -100 to 100. Our goal is to maintain at least this level and further improve it through continuous development of our operations and workplace practices. We regularly gather feedback through employee surveys and actively involve our personnel in improvement and development initiatives.

Promoting Skills and Continuous Learning

Training and professional development help ensure that our employees’ skills keep pace with evolving business and industry requirements. We identify training needs together with our employees and provide a variety of learning opportunities, including apprenticeship programs and tailored specialist training delivered in collaboration with our partners. Continuous learning is also embraced at the management level, reflecting our commitment to ongoing development throughout the organization.

Examples of Our Training and Development Activities

• Vocational Qualification in Process Technology
• Apprenticeship Training Programs
• Automation Training Courses

Part of the Virrat Community

As a local company, we are committed to strengthening the vitality of our community. We actively participate in entrepreneurship education and promote awareness of sustainability within the plastics industry. Each year, we support youth activities and help young people discover the career opportunities available in our industry.

Supporting Young People in Our Community

• Work Experience Programs (TET): We provide students with opportunities to gain first-hand experience of working life.
• Company Visits: In cooperation with the Virrat Comprehensive School and the Virrat Entrepreneurs Association, we host visits for 8th-grade students, introducing them to the plastics industry, our sustainability initiatives, and career opportunities.
• Business Idea Competitions: We participate in the Ready-4-Business competition organized by the Virrat 4H Association, which encourages 9th-grade students to explore entrepreneurship.
• Technology Education: We have supported the acquisition of a cobot (collaborative robot) to enable young people to safely familiarize themselves with automation and programming technologies.

Governance Responsibility

Responsible Leadership and Risk Management

A responsible approach guides our daily decision-making, collaboration, and business processes. We continuously develop our operations based on the principles of reliability, safety, and ethical conduct.

Risk management is an integral part of how we lead our business. We systematically identify, assess, and manage risks to ensure business continuity, operational safety, and consistently high quality.
