Key Sustainability Commitments

Commited to Reducing Environmental Impact:

Sofrimar have committed to reducing their water usage by 20% by December 2018. This will be achieved by investing in new equipment for wash down and changing a number of production lines to reduce water consumption.

Sofrimar will reduce the use of Polystyrene which has limited recycling potential with most used cartons being baled and send to landfill. New and innovative packing which can be re-cycled has been developed for a number of products previously packed in Polystyrene.
