Zero waste
Waste management: objective completed
Our objective was to reprocess 100% of our industrial waste. By implementing a waste sorting centre and seeking out original waste reprocessing solutions, we’ve been able to rise to the challenge. Back in 2013, we achieved our goal of sending zero waste to the landfill. We’re proud of this achievement. We’re continuously working to send our waste products into industries that promote our vision of a circular economy.
Waste management: 100% recyclable packaging
80% of the packaging used to send out rolls of BALSAN carpet is made from recycled material.
100% of these packaging products are recyclable. Combatting climate change is one of this country’s top priorities.
The stakes are higher than ever, so we need to step up and increase our efforts.
Reduction in greenhouse gasses
BALSAN actively works to reduce the quantity of greenhouse gases we emit. Every year, these greenhouse gas emissions are checked by an independent body, and are 40% lower than the official quotas (quota set at 7800 tonnes of CO2 in 2015, while the emissions recorded at Balsan were only 4,200 tonnes of CO2).
Thanks to BALSAN’s close proximity to our traditional market, the Greater Paris region, we’ve been able to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by shortening our journey times.
For example, there’s only 15km between our two production facilities. This means that we can reduce the distance travelled by our merchandise as much as possible during the manufacturing process.
