Reducing Waste, One Step at a Time

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are deeply committed to reducing, reusing, and recycling waste across all areas of our operations, ensuring that our environmental impact is minimized and our resources are utilized as efficiently as possible.

Managing Paper and Cardboard Waste
To cut down on paper waste, we collect reusable paper for internal use, giving it a second life within our daily operations. Cardboard is meticulously sorted, with reusable boxes set aside for deliveries and shipments. Any surplus cardboard that cannot be reused is recycled in partnership with the local cooperative K’AUX, ensuring that as little waste as possible ends up in landfills.

Tackling Plastic and Glass Waste
Our commitment extends to minimizing single-use plastics as well. We collect and recycle plastic bottles, bags, and film stretch to reduce plastic waste. Although glass and polystyrene are generated in small amounts, we make sure they are properly disposed of by sending them to local recycling points, ensuring they are managed in an environmentally responsible way.

Composting Organic Waste
Organic waste generated in our kitchen and offices is composted, transforming food scraps and other organic materials into valuable compost. This not only reduces waste but also contributes to healthier soils in the community, creating a circular process that gives back to the environment.

We are continuously seeking new ways to reduce our environmental footprint. These efforts are just a part of our overall commitment to sustainability, and we are proud to be part of a movement that prioritizes responsible waste management and a greener future. Together, we can make a meaningful impact, one sustainable step at a time.
