A Green Future in Our Hands
Gammaplast’s Path to Sustainability
Sustainable Development
The sustainable development of Gammaplast is based on long-term adherence to the EGS principles, even to the point where these principles have taken a generally accepted formulation.
At Gammaplast, we see environmental responsibility as a cornerstone of our manufacturing process. In the creation of our plastic packaging, we pay close attention to environmental concerns. This results in maximizing the recycling of our technological waste and consistently reusing this waste in our finished products. Over the years, we've amplified the percentage of our technological waste that is reintegrated into our production line.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Powering our production sustainably
At Gammaplast, we understand that the path to sustainability is multi-faceted. That's why we're not just transforming our materials and waste management; we're also revolutionizing our energy usage. We've made a conscious shift towards green energy, using 100% renewable energy in the production of our products. With a multi-year contract with a supplier that generates electricity from wind turbines, we're doing our part to reduce carbon emissions.
Investing in solar power
Our commitment to green energy is further demonstrated by our substantial investment in solar power. Our production and storage buildings are equipped with a vast array of solar panels, enabling us to harness the sun's energy to power our operations. This commitment makes our energy consumption even more environmentally friendly.
Driving innovation in materials
Our commitment to sustainability doesn't end with waste recycling. We have been at the forefront of integrating recycled plastic and bioplastics into our production. With the use of r-PET and r-HDPE, alongside sugarcane-based bioplastic, we are part of a new wave of eco-friendly production.
r-PET
We integrate recycled PET in our production processes
r-HDPE
We leverage recycled HDPE to reduce our reliance on virgin plastic
Bioplastic
Our sugarcane-based bioplastic shows our commitment to alternative materials
Continuous Improvement
We constantly test and integrate new sustainable materials into our product lines
We partner with plastic recyclers for waste that can't be directly reused in production, aligning with our sustainability philosophy to maximize resource utilization.
