    • Garbage Collection
    • Garbage Washing
    • Melting
    • Granules creation
    • Foil reproduction

  • In our plant in Polipak, a new technology is under development that will lead to new high-tech and more environmentally friendly products(garbage bags) through automated processes.

    The new garbage bags will be characterized by:

    • High durability
    • Better functionality & aesthetics
    • Cost efficiency
    • Granules creation
    • Higher ecological profile (higher percentage of recycled raw materials).
  • The use of photovoltaics in Polipak’s new factory will enhance energy efficiency and result in a greener production facility.

Our Plants:

  • In our plant in Greece:

    • There is a “Solar system”- Water Cooling system for air conditioning utilizing solar power: We use 1340 solar collectors and two sunlight absorption chillers covering part of the plant’s needs in cooling power.
    • Natural Gas has fully replaced oil; as a result, gas emissions are reduced, operation is cleaner and the energy cost was brought down.
    • Installation of a photovoltaic system will cover a significant part of the energy needs.
  • We focus on mitigating our environmental footprint through recycling, either directly or indirectly through certified partners, the waste generated in our operations.

    The new garbage bags will be characterized by:

    • Particularly in Greece, our financial contributions to the Hellenic Recovery Recycling Corporation, support the effort to improve the recycling infrastructure in Greece.
    • The total amount of the company’s financial contributions corresponds to the financing of the purchase of 5,287 blue recycling bins or 10 recycling vehicles.
  • The Group’s headquarters and the production facility at Ιnofyta, with respect to the energy management apply the International Standard ISO 50001, which is certified by the certification body TUV HELLAS.
