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.
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.
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.
