Since the beginning, Vacmet’s foundation has been built on sustainability. We have put in years of research and investment in technology to reach a place where we can take pride in our journey towards sustainability.
We understand the perils that plastic can bring to the ecosystem and hence consciously follow a 3R approach of Reduce | Reuse| Recycle in product offerings as well as processes.
Designing & promoting films supporting single-family laminates- Not only have we developed BOPP films which support mono materials with ease, but we have also strived to develop BOPET films supporting single-family laminates. For instance, one of our notable developments is the ultra-high heat-seal BOPET film with a seal strength of up to 2 kg.
Vacmet has installed a special BOPET film line to down gauge film up to 5 microns thereby reducing the overall usage of plastic.
Introduction of ECOVAC grade of PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) PET Films with different variants of recycled content. (like – 30% / 50% and 70%). The films are certified by Intertek.
Waste to energy conversion – we have installed a waste to energy conversion plant with a capacity of 1000 MTPA at one of our manufacturing facilities. We use process trim waste of metallized film, which are tough to recycle.
We are already a stakeholder in CEFLEX initiative to get the circular economy infrastructure in place in Europe by 2025. We aim at becoming the trendsetters in our commitment to a ‘Circular Economy ‘and sustainable innovation. We endeavour to invest over 50 crores in the next 2-3 years in recycling and waste processing systems.
We believe that sustainability is not just a way, it is the only way. Hence our employees are also given a more meaningful understanding of our impact on the environment. With a deeper understanding, they are incessantly working to minimize the carbon footprint at both an individual as well as company level.
