Carbon Footprint

In line with our core business, “to bring proactive and daily solutions for your plastic packaging”. We measured the carbon impact of our activity on the environment, following an audit conducted by an independent firm trained in the methodology of the ADEME (environment and energy management agency).

We have decomposed the calculation of the GHG (greenhouse gases) emissions of each item of our process and for each raw material used (PP, PE, PET). The results show that the “inputs” (raw material) and “end of life” (post-processing product) items account for the majority of our GHG emissions.

This allowed us to identify priority areas that our teams are working on right now.

The company is committed from now on :

  • To sort its operating waste (paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, battery, printer cartridge, computer equipment …)
  • To sort our scrap and plastic waste from packaging production (recovery by an external service who values it in second life granules).
  • To manage its energy expenses by adopting a responsible attitude (reduction of the consumption of paper, promoting the transfer of documentation by email…)
  • To invest in basic equipment consumption
  • To propose preferably products whose components are sensitive to the respect of the nature (biodegradable, using recyclable materials, …) Are excluded all the plastic which have not one or more solutions of recycling and / or revaluation.
  • To develop bio-sourced materials, two of whose characteristics are to be a carbon trap and require less energy for the production of packaging (SO GREEN by CVP)
  • To prefer local suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of transport
  • To be an active member at Matikem on new subjects: CVP actively works for the creation of an innovative industrial sector including a manufacturer of bio-sourced material, a transformer-manufacturer by technological process of flasks and a conditioner of cleaning products www.matikem.com
  • To always offer to our customers, as an alternative with the least polluting services and products possible: we work on the weight reduction of the packaging while remaining in conformity with the French, European or international laws in force. But also while maintaining the properties related to the constraints and requirements of our customers (top-load, screwing, UN approvals, chemical certifications …).

In addition to the technical elements, dimensions, price available on each offer handed to our customers:

We provide the CO² of each of the references requested.

One or more alternative packaging solutions that are more economical CO², consistent with the customer’s specifications.
