The paradox of plastic.
Plastic has a bad reputation and is a real threat when used single-use.
Utility vs. Durability
Plastic is omnipresent in our daily lives for a reason: its versatility and durability. But this durability, which is its main asset, becomes problematic when it comes to single-use plastics (cups, cutlery, straws, disposable packaging) that end up discarded after a few minutes of use.
When used well, it becomes part of the solution!
For example, it is essential for access to drinking water, healthcare, more environmentally friendly travel, industrial redeployment in Europe (e.g., piping and clean rooms for biotech), energy transition (buffer tanks for cogeneration) and Europe’s strategic autonomy (defense, pure-tech).

Reduce our carbon footprint.
We optimize our production processes to minimize our energy consumption. By limiting the use of non-renewable resources, we actively contribute to a more environmentally friendly future.
- Possession of 600 photovoltaic panels.
- Optimization of production lines to reduce unnecessary travel.
- Continuous monitoring of our consumption for real-time adjustments.
Reduce and recycle waste.
We have implemented a program to reduce our waste, from product design to end of life. By adopting a zero-waste approach, we aim to minimize our environmental impact and encourage the reuse of materials in our production.
- Systematic sorting of waste internally for optimal recycling.
Reuse of production scraps whenever possible.


Raising awareness among our employees.
Sustainability begins with individual awareness. Mertens Plastique believes that an informed workforce is a key lever for achieving our environmental goals.
- About ten of our employees cycle to work. For several years, we’ve been working toward reaching 10,000 km of cycling by our employees.
- Encouraging personal initiatives to reduce the ecological impact in workspaces.
