Sustainability
Distriplast as a sustainable company
Distriplast has always invested heavily in reducing its environmental footprint. These efforts start with a sustainable production.
We are constantly looking to improve our water and electricity consumption and recycle all production residues into the production of PP sheets for the construction industry and packaging business.
Furthermore, Distriplast is entirely REACH[1] conform and uses recycled materials for half of the total production of its polypropylene sheets.
When it comes to our plastic sheets, we’re proud to say that they are 100% recyclable. You can use several methods for disposing of our sheets:
-
Chemical recycling
-
Grinding / Granulation / Extrusion
-
Incineration with energy recovery
To come full circle, Distriplast promotes multimodal or combined transport. This means less time on the road and less CO2 emitted by transporting your polypropylene sheets. Our strategic location at the crossroads of international highways also allows for export by sea container.
[1] REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry.
New polypropylene regranulation line
We are pleased to announce the new polypropylene regranulation line has extruded its first ton of recycled PP! The new line was recently installed at Distriplast in order to keep up with the continously increasing production of Diplast corrugated sheets.
