CO2 savings

Recycling is the magic word

In use for closed circuits

Our planet's resources are becoming increasingly scarce, climate change is progressing and it is more than ever up to all of us to do something about it. The raw materials that nature provides us with are only sufficient if they are used sparingly, used consciously and - ideally - reused. Under the motto "The future needs recycling", we are committed to closed recycling loops.

CO2 savings through plastic recycling

 

Did you know that recycling plays a major role in reducingCO2 emissions? As a company that has been committed to sustainability for decades, we are proud of the fact that we can save over 125,000 tons ofCO2 by processing around 50,000 tons of plastic every year. These figures go beyond statistics - they represent our commitment and a sustainable future. Even as we celebrate this milestone, we continue to look for ways to further reduce ourcarbon footprint.

Conditions of participation for the Swiss climate protection program

Bring Plastic Back collection system

The implementation of InnoWay's Bring Plastic Back collection system is made possible by contributions from a climate protection program of the Swiss compensation instrument. The use of the collection bag is linked to the acceptance of the conditions of participation, which apply to all buyers of the collection bag.

Plastics recycling InnoRecycling AG

South Pole Suisse AG is running a project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on behalf of InnoRecyling AG. In return for the certificates issued as part of the project, the industrial company benefits from higher compensation and lower disposal costs per tonne of plastic delivered.
