Zero Waste to Landfill certification for the company ELVAK S.A
EUROCERT, after a thorough inspection of ELVAK S.A.'s facilities, confirmed absolute compliance with the requirements of the Zero Waste to Landfill Standard and their faithful application in environmental management.
The “Zero Waste To Landfill” Standard, which has been developed by EUROCERT and is an innovation at the international level, defines the certification requirements for minimizing the avoidance of landfilling of factory waste and managing it according to the principles of the circular economy. Businesses achieve this goal by progressively following the following stages:
• Reduction of consumption and discarded materials
• Reuse of materials
• Recycling, composting and using anaerobic processes
• Waste energy recovery
The highest PLATINUM category, achieved by ELVAK S.A., refers to almost zero landfilling of waste, which proves in practice its commitment to planning the production process, in a way that contributes to the saving of natural resources, the reduction of gas emissions greenhouse and optimal waste management.
The synergy of certification and industrial production, in the area of the circular economy, is fully aligned with the vision and goals of the European Green Deal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
