For many years, VBN has been pursuing a path that combines innovation and sustainability in the production of innovative plastic material profiles, which are also made by processing recycled plastic. Our company is actively engaged in adopting environmentally friendly practices, focusing on the use of sustainable raw materials, product life cycle and initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact.
The processing of recycled plastic
A staple of VBN’s sustainable strategy is the use of recycled and biodegradable polymers in production processes. Through advanced processes, the company is able to recover post-consumer plastic materials, turning them into new resources for the production of high-quality products. This approach not only extends the useful life of raw materials, but also helps to significantly reduce the amount of waste going to disposal. In addition, the processing of recycled plastics and the introduction of biodegradable polymers demonstrate VBN’s commitment to supporting the goals of Agenda 2030 for sustainable development.
Reducing environmental impact
Paying attention to the product life cycle is another key concern for VBN. During the planning and co-design phases of custom profiles, our company provides specific advice to identify the most suitable plastics, considering factors such as functionality, context of use and technical specifications. This approach enables the development of testable prototypes prior to mass production, ensuring final products that meet high quality and sustainability standards.
To reduce the use of non-recyclable elements, VBN implements extrusion processes that promote recycling and processing of recycled plastics. Production cycles are designed to reuse plastics, employing them again in different industries and applications. Our company pays special attention to production waste recovery and packaging optimization, with the aim of minimizing environmental impact.
Sustainable energy for the processing of recycled plastic
VBN’s commitment to the environment is also expressed through optimizing consumption. Our company invests in advanced machinery and innovative technologies to improve the energy efficiency of recycled plastic and polymer extrusion processes, thus reducing the overall carbon footprint. Using a cogeneration and trigeneration plant, VBN produces green energy for self-consumption and reduction of CO2 emissions. This solution allows to reduce the plant’s heating and air conditioning consumption and the cooling of water used in the production process.
