Sustainable materials
The Materials sector, with the plastics industry at its head, has a major role to play in developing a circular economy that encourages re-use and recycling in particular. We are at your side to meet this challenge and contribute to a more sustainable materials industry.
Acting for a sustainable materials sector
Integrate environmental protection at every stage of production
Favoring an eco-design approach to products and the implementation of a circular economy promoting reuse and recycling.
Securing the industry in the face of a complex supply chain
Guaranteeing the traceability and transparency of raw materials right through to the consumer, the origin of recycled raw materials, and controlling environmental and social risks.
Develop socially responsible supply chains
Enabling safe and dignified working conditions, fair prices and ethical, long-term commercial relationships.
