Topa PackagingSofidel joined the WWF Climate Savers program in 2008, committing to an ambitious voluntary emission reduction target achieved in 2020: -24% in direct CO2 emissions compared to 2009. The new 2030 target, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative – SBTi, calls for a 40% reduction in scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 emissions (related to its suppliers’ pulp production operations) compared to 2018. The Group is committed to increasing energy efficiency measures, the use of cogeneration plants, and the use of energy from renewable sources from newly-built plants. Learn more
Reduction in the Use of Conventional PlasticSofidel has set a target to reduce the incidence of conventional plastics in its production by 50% by 2030, compared to 2013. The goal is being pursued through the reduction in the thickness of the plastic film used in the production process, the use of recycled plastics or bioplastics and, as preferred option, the introduction of new kraft paper packaging. In fact, paper is a plant-based material, therefore renewable, easily recyclable and effectively recycled in most of the markets where Sofidel’s products are present. Learn more
