CLIMATE NEUTRALITY

CLIMATE NEUTRALITY
GOAL

Relicyc is focused on the goal of climate neutrality, which calls for reducing greenhouse emissions and the use of renewable sources.

DEEPLY COMMITTED TO PROTECTING THE PLANET

At Relicyc, we place a high value on sustainability; it is our point of departure. We deliver on this promise by contributing to reduce waste, save resources and protect the environment. Within this framework, Relicyc is deeply committed to climate neutrality, which calls for reducing greenhouse emissions and the use of renewable sources.

Environmental neutrality is the ability of an activity, product or organisation to not have a negative impact on the environment, in other words, to not emit more greenhouse gases than it can eliminate or offset. Climate neutrality is, therefore, a critical goal in counteracting climate change and promoting sustainable development. The European Union aims to reach neutrality by 2050 through the Green Deal, a strategy encompassing multiple legislative and political initiatives on sustainable climate, energy, transportation, agriculture and finance

HOW TO OPTIMISE
YOUR BUSINESS
TO SUPPORT THE ENVIRONMENT

Relicyc has adopted the 2030 Agenda plan of action (goals 9, 11, 12) and, to measure the carbon footprint of its Logypal pallets, it uses the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which assesses the environmental impacts of a product, and the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration), which offers a true measure of the product’s impact, quantified according to international standards.

The following table provides the CO2 savings achieved with the use of Relicyc plastic pallets compared to their wooden counterpart according to EPD certified results*. *calculated as a percentage of competitors’ material

OUR PROOF OF TRANSPARENCY

In alignment with our business philosophy, Relicyc has achieved certification of its Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which describes the environmental impact of its products along their entire life cycle. The EPD programme is a voluntary scheme that transparently reports the environmental performance of products in an objective and verified manner. The EPD is proof of Relicyc’s concrete action towards sustainability and social responsibility.

Another proof of this commitment is Certified Recycled Plastic^®, the technological program that traces plastic resources along the entire recycling chain in an immutable and verifiable manner. What makes the program especially valuable is the fact that it is based on Blockchain technology, which allows collecting information about the materials batch by batch through unique QR codes. Thanks to Certified Recycled Plastic^®, Relicyc offers customers the opportunity to verify, at any time, the life cycle, quality, attributes, regulatory compliance and environmental impact of its products, ensuring the greatest degree of transparency and sustainability when it comes to climate neutrality.
