Our best practices toachieve a better future

Metallisation of the carbdoard without plastic (PET/polyester free) through cold foil stamping. Selective and intelligent metallisation of the cardboard: aluminium is only applied where it is needed. In addition, the aluminium layer deposited during the cold foil stamping process is extremely thin (0.02 μm = 6000 times thinner than a hair, according to KURZ), which does not interfere at all with the recycling of the folding carton. It is the most sustainable alternative to metallised polyester.

Use of water-based adhesives for lamination and gluing. We can now also develop glueless assembly systems. These systems offer both benefits (design, creativity, durability) and drawbacks (more complex die cuts, manual assembly, use of more material). In any case, we help you choose the best solution for your packaging project.

Possibility to use PCR-PET recycled films (made of 90% recycled plastic/PCR-PET) and PCR-PP recycled films (made of 30% recycled plastic) as more responsible alternatives to reduce the consumption of virgin raw materials and for more environmentally friendly packaging. It is also possible to use cellulose acetate films (natural origin) or to reduce the thickness of the film (from 12μ to 8μ for example) to lower the plastic content of the packaging.

Collection, treatment and recovery or disposal of our waste by authorised waste managers in accordance with local regulations. At the same time, we are working to improve the end-of-life of our waste to make its impact on the environment as neutral as possible: for example, cold-foil PET film. Participamos en el programa de reciclaje único en el mundo (de bobinas de PET usadas) RECOSYS de KURZ desde junio de 2022.

We calculate the carbon footprint of our organisation from 2022. Thanks to this we have recently obtained the certificate of registration in the Registry of carbon footprint, compensation and CO2 absorption projects of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. This positive resolution is subject to a CO2 emissions minimisation plan submitted to MITECO for the years 2022-2025. We also report to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) from 2022, demonstrating our commitment to transparency on emissions and climate action.

Our purchasing decisions are not based solely on economic criteria, but we also integrate environmental and social criteria when purchasing a product or service. We involve our suppliers and work together to achieve more efficient products, with less impact on our environment and promote best practices.

Fitness space, leisure room (table tennis, table football, billiards), relaxation room, large dining room, terrace and chill out area. Creation of a special parking area for bicycles and electric scooters, in order to promote sustainable mobility.

Achieving the highest level of safety and health at work is one of our management’s priorities. EGISA guarantees the participation and information of all employees and adequate theoretical and practical training on the specific risks of their job. In terms of well-being at work, this year EGISA has started a project to find out and measure the general satisfaction of its employees, in order to detect possible areas for improvement and implement specific action plans to achieve an optimal working environment.

Since 2017 we have been collaborating in a project to donate to local public schools the surplus of our productions (materials of excellent quality recovered in the pre-production phase; surplus stock of unused materials) so that they can be used by children for creative activities, handicrafts, plastic arts classes, etc. The project is based on a proximity model (acting locally) and its main objective is to give a second life to these blank unprinted materials, encouraging their reuse.
