Sustainability
At Cabopol, we recognize the urgent global need to enhance both human and environmental well-being. As the world shifts toward a circular economy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, we proudly contribute to this transition. Guided by the UN Global Compact, our strategies align with its Ten Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting our commitment to responsible practices.
In response to growing consumer awareness and demand for environmentally friendly solutions, the plastics industry is evolving. At Cabopol, we have embraced this change by developing sustainable polymer compounds that combine performance with environmental responsibility. Offering eco-conscious materials is no longer an option, it is the standard. Our sustainable solutions help advance a circular economy while protecting the planet for future generations.
CoP – Communication on Progress
Our commitment is reflected in the 2024 Communication on Progress (CoP), which details the initiatives and actions implemented, allowing stakeholders to track our sustainability performance and compare it with other companies in the sector. We invite you to access our full report on the official UN Global Compact portal by scanning the QR code below.
Sustainable Products
Recycled Materials
Recovery and recycling of post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste, promoting circularity and reducing environmental impact.
Bio Solutions
Compostable and Biodegradable polymers from plant-based biomass and Biobased solutions, keeping aesthetics , mechanical, electric, and flame standards.
Second Life
Close loops within the company and partnerships with our customers to extend a product’s life cycle: Re-introduction in the process of production scraps from internal and external production.
Product Carbon Footprint
LCA studies compliant with ISO 14067 and 14040 are conducted to determine the carbon footprint of our products, identify the materials with the highest impact, and implement actions to reduce it.
Sustainable PROCESS
Energy Efficiency
Implementation of energy efficiency measures to improve the equipment’s efficiency.
Green Energy
Our 1.22 MWp solar plant, operational since the second half of 2024, supports our decarbonisation strategy by cutting an estimated 235.5 tCO2eq in Scope 2 emissions.
Re-Compounding
Extend the company’s recycling efforts by investing in equipment that enables the reprocessing of PIR and PCR materials.
ISO 14001:2015
Systematically identify and reduce environmental impacts, driving us to continual improvement in environmental performance and ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience.
INTERNAL LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
CALCULATIONS
Compliant with ISO 14067 and 14040, our calculations support the development of Environmental Product Information Sheets. These documents present the Product Carbon Footprint in CO2-eq, allowing us to transparently communicate the environmental impact of our current formulations to clients.
Below, we showcase two product scenarios: a standard reference formulation and an enhanced version featuring a selected percentage of recycled content, highlighting the positive impact of sustainable innovation.
