ESG - Environmental sustainability
Plastic is much more recyclable than you think; in fact, many of the plastic polymers can potentially be recycled into new products while minimising environmental pollution.
Plastic has a low environmental impact in the production phase due to its relatively low melting temperature and light weight. It also has a low impact on scarce resources as it derives from processing waste, if virgin, or from recycled material (unlike other packaging, such as paper that can contribute to deforestation).
RECYCLING AND BIOPLASTICS
Our aim is to provide our customers with the best possible technologies so that they can process recycled plastics with the highest quality standards, optimising impacts and offering reliable, high-performance, design products.
PiovanGroup holds 22 patents related to the circular economy.
Since 2006, the Group has supplied equipment and systems for hundreds of plants dedicated to recycling plastics or using recycled plastics.
