Valgroup’s Sustainability

Valgroup’s sustainability has been an essential part of our existence since our inauguration. It represents the core of our business and, thus, we invest and we dedicate a lot to find a solution that strengthens the circular plastic economy, as well as contributing to the social development, while adhering to the ethics and transparency principles.

The importance of plastic for society

Very present in our lives, plastic emerged in the first half of the 20th century and started gaining strength in the 1930’s, with polyethylene. The Second World War was a revolution for plastic and, after the war, companies started to use it in the manufacturing of consumer goods. Its dissemination in society brought several social, economic, and environmental advantages.

Valgroup and its ESG Goals and Objectives

With the growing concern regarding the environmental impacts of our lifestyle as well as the confrontation of inequalities and social injustices, companies are increasingly required to take effective positions and initiatives to reverse these scenarios.

Single-material packaging – Because in recycling, less is more

Although multimaterial plastic packaging components are essentially recyclable, nowadays recycling this type of waste is still a challenge for the circular economy due to a lack of technologies for the efficient separation of these different components, which makes the process laborious and costly from start to finish.

How to bring sustainability into your home?

We often have the impression that being sustainable outside, at work, in malls, in parks and similar places is much easier than at home. After all, there are established structures dedicated to this goal, such as colored garbage cans for selective collection, reminders on signs, laws and campaigns, among other measures.

How is plastic waste recycled?

Recycling has become a widely discussed topic in the course of the last few years. As the population has grown, so has waste generation, much of it plastic. The environment can not withstand this for a long time, nor can it reverse the situation by itself. For this reason, recycling is essential to reducing the volume of this waste that pollutes our cities, forests, rivers and oceans, and to reducing the exploitation of natural resources.
