Our sustainability ecosystem

Reducing our environmental impact, optimizing our industrial process and manufacturing environmentally-conscious products are the three key parts of NUDEC's environmental sustainability strategy

NUDEC's commitment to the environment is not just focused on obtaining sustainable products; we understand that it is essential to account for the product’s transformation process and its surrounding factors.

And we have called this environmental responsibility Cyrclus Ecosys®. A set of actions and certifications which are focused on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and incorporating a new consumption and production model: the circular economy.

We thus take care of the shared environment via an efficient use of resources in the extrusion process, which in turn reduces our environmental footprint. We also encourage our suppliers, customers and employees to join our ecology and efficiency initiatives in order to develop and promote sustainable communities.

This strategy is integrated into the Quality System (ISO 9001) and Environmental Management (ISO 14001), which have been implemented and embedded into NUDEC's management processes for many years.

OCS Program | 0 pellet loss

A project which complements and offers an extension to the 5S cleaning system in order to manage a very specific type of waste: microplastics. A global and voluntary initiative in the plastics industry to prevent plastic particles from being released into the environment.

ISO 50001 | Energy management

We certify an energy policy and rationally manage the energy vectors deriving from our activity, notably in the facilities and products, with the aim of promoting a real and measurable reduction in the amount of energy used.

EPD | Environmental Declaration

The EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) are the certified documents that offer quantified and verifiable information on the environmental performance of our products, which allows us to assess the environmental impact throughout their life cycle.

ISCC+ | Sustainability ²

ISCC is a sustainability certification system which is used to establish traceability in the supply chains of renewable raw materials. By using this system, we contribute to the change towards the circular economy and bioeconomy, manifesting our contributions through the use of the ISCC PLUS certified system.

Green energy | Renewable origin

A small gesture which represents a big commitment to the Environment: providing our production process for plastic plates with 100% sustainable and renewable energy. The GoOs (guarantees of origin) are a method of certifying that 100% of the energy that reaches our facilities has been produced by renewable energy or cogeneration.

Environmental self-declarations

We analyze all our products, both internally and externally, to certify that their properties and composition side with the search for a circular economy. Our products are manufactured using lower levels of water consumption, many of them are recyclable and others allow processing companies to think about ecodesign.

The Circular Economy

At NUDEC, we analyze each stage of production from an environmental perspective in order to achieve sustainable development from raw material to final product. This is demonstrated in our implementation of far-reaching measures which update the company's know-how and form the strategic basis for the next 20 years. A set of actions and certifications which are focused on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and incorporating a new consumption and production model: the circular economy.

EsPlásticos | Plastic life cycle

Plastic waste is a very valuable resource in itself. The plastic products we use are containing an increasing percentage of recycled material every year.

Plastic | Better industry. Better world

The plastics industry is essential in our lives. It has to become efficient and think about the circular economy in order to create an environmentally sustainable world.

Anaip | Circular economy

The plastics industry's commitment to the environment is a reality: this can be seen with the minimal use of raw materials and resources, reduced waste and promotion of recyclability.
