Environmental Sustainability

For more than ten years, TecnoGi has concentrated its research activity into strategic development of recyclable and eco-friendly materials.

All our extruded materials are now fully recyclable.
The use of polymers derived from renewable sources is constantly increasing.

One recent development is the BIOREL range: fully biodegradable counter, toe-puff and reinforcement materials.

BIOREL has been manufactured by transforming polymers derived from renewable sources.

BIOREL’s chemistry has incorporated natural starches to allow for complete biodegradability.

BIOREL has been certified as biodegradable and compostable by the specialized OWS institute, based in Gent – Belgium.

BIOREL fully conforms to International rules EN 13432 and ASTM 6400. After 60 days in composting conditions, BIOREL loses more than 87% of its total weight.

TECNOGI expresses its attention to the environment by investing in the production of clean energy. A photovoltaic system with solar panels of 1000 kWh power has been operational since June 2011.

Tecnogi presents the first Sustainability Report of TECNOGI group

Tecnogi strongly believed in this initiative which represents a fundamental growth step in the corporate culture .
It is now simplicistic to define a company only from an economic -financial point of view , the concept of company is much broader and includes relationship with the stakeholders and the surrounding environment .
This vision has always belonged to the Tecnogi group which has been dedicating itself for years with dedication and commitment.
The Sustainanility Report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting standards (in short “GRI Standards”) , the sustainability reporting standards whose reference principles and indicators are the most widespread and applied internationally.
