OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

Our simple and important rules

Improvement of energy efficiency

We adopt efficient technologies, monitoring energy consumption and implementing energy saving measures.

Waste reduction

Through the optimization of production processes and the recycling of materials we reduce waste of raw materials and energy.

Use of sustainable materials

Using sustainable materials, such as recycled or biodegradable ones, can help reduce the product’s environmental impact.

Implementation of recycling and disposal practices

We recycle and responsibly dispose of all materials used at every stage of the production process and in all company activities.

Encouraging on-demand manufacturing

We reduce waste and limit the environmental impact of production, avoiding excess production and accumulating unsold stocks.

Promoting sustainability among our suppliers

We only select suppliers who adopt sustainable practices and encourage them to improve their sustainability.

Communication of our sustainability efforts

We are part of a culture and we want to help spread it by document and communicate our sustainability initiatives.

Badge Committed di Ecovadis

In 2024 Metalcolor obtained an important recognition: the Badge Committed from EcoVadis, a renowned provider active in 110 countries, which monitors the sustainability performance of companies in over 150 sectors.

RESOURCES OF THE PLANET

Managing resources efficiently is a top priority for our company. Metal is a permanent material and its recyclability allows you to save raw materials, energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

100% recyclable

The separate collection of metal containers allows the total recovery of raw materials and the saving of resources.

Steel Packaging

80,6%

Italy has already largely exceeded the European target of 70% for 2025. To date, steel is the most recycled packaging material in Italy and Europe.

Raw Metal

– 50%

The use of 1 ton of recycled scrap metal saves approximately 2 tons of ferrous minerals.

PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM

In 2011, with the aim of reducing energy consumption, we completed the installation of photovoltaic panels which today provide us with an average of 15% of the energy needed for production.

RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Our company is a fundamental part of the steel packaging production chain, which places attention to the quality of raw materials and respect for the environment at the center of every stage of production. Production waste is separated from the rest of the materials and sent for recycling so that it can be melted down again and transformed into new steel.
