Shaping the Future: Our Path to Sustainable Plastics Production
Sustainability in the plastics sector: responsibility meets innovation. At JACO, we prove that sustainable action is also possible in the plastics industry. Our commitment to energy efficiency is confirmed by our certification in accordance with the “Alternative system for improving energy efficiency in accordance with § 3 SpaEfV”.
- By specifically reducing the wall thickness of our products in close consultation with our customers, we minimize material consumption and emissions.
- Production residues are not wasted, but are fed back into the production cycle through efficient recycling.
- For all product applications that make this possible, we offer bioplastics to further reduce our ecological footprint.
- Our own photovoltaic power plant on the roofs and open spaces of our site reliably supplies clean energy with 1,350 kWp. Around 75% of the electricity generated flows directly into our production. We store surpluses intelligently in battery systems so that we remain independent even at night. Through targeted charging and discharging, we also optimise our electricity purchasing and reduce peak loads – for greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
- Instead of traditional chillers, we rely on the natural cooling system with well water.
- Our modern machinery stands for maximum energy efficiency and conserves resources.
- For all product applications that make this possible, we offer bioplastics to further reduce our ecological footprint.
Innovative Bioplastics for Sustainable Packaging Solutions
JACO relies on a sustainable production process that uses environmentally friendly resources and minimizes the ecological impact. The use of bioplastics reflects our commitment to environmental protection and the promotion of renewable materials. Our packaging therefore not only offers quality and safety, but also contributes to a more sustainable world:
Bio-based materials:
We use raw materials such as corn, grain and sugar cane to produce plastics that are not based on petroleum and thus reduce the environmental impact.
Biodegradable properties:
Our packaging made from biodegradable plastics offers the advantage that it can decompose naturally under certain conditions, resulting in a lower environmental impact.
Adapted permeability:
For specific applications, especially food packaging, we use the advantageous properties of bioplastics to ensure optimal permeability. This enables us to produce packaging that is either made entirely from bio-based plastics or a combination of renewable raw materials and conventional polypropylene.
By saying "Yes to JACO" you are also saying "Yes to the environment". Find out more about our industry-specific solutions and shape a green future with us.
