A new machine will significantly reduce water consumption improving our water consumption performance trend: from 2019 to 2021 we have reduce washing water consumption of 21% thanks to a combination of process and technology optimisation measures.
Earth Overshoot Day 2022 warned us about our vulnerability and the urgency to accelerate our sustainability process and strategy. The Global Footprint Network has estimate that 28 July was the day when the annual resources that the Earth can regenerate were virtually exhausted: for more than 50 years, this date has been getting earlier and earlier.
We realise once more time how limited natural resources are, water first, the most precious resource and essential condition for life. Saving water is a primary topic in our sustainable development plan: this is why we have decided on a significant improvement in our manufacturing processes that will reduce the consumption of water necessary for washing the metal drums of inks for printing.
The announcement of the investment covers the acquisition of a special machine that will significantly reduce water consumption, improving our water consumption performance trend: from 2019 to 2021 21% we have reduce washing water consumption of 21% thanks to a combination of process and technology optimisation measures.
Our commitment to water management is fully in compliance with the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which include sustainable consumption and production for the promotion of resource and energy efficiency.
