Our actions for the environment

Processing electric and electronic waste

Our participation in the chain of collection and processing of electric and electronic waste from our installations is the expression of our desire to respect regulations that foster sustainable development. The European directive 2003/108/EC of 8 December 2003 (amending article 9 concerning the funding of professional waste), concerning electric and electronic equipment requires the selective collection of waste with a view to recovering materials from them. Our electric and electronic components as well as our used glass and aluminum are retrieved and recycled without producing uncontrolled pollution.

By taking care of our products’ quality, we protect the environment around us.

Aluminum and glass recycling

Through processing centers, Portalp has set up procedures to recycle aluminum and glass in its branches and production site. We optimize our scraps of aluminum and, by streamlining our main bracket length, we reduce the amount of scraps we produce.

Controlling our use of raw materials.

Paper recycling

Portalp has signed a partnership with the post office to recycle office paper that covers white paper, color prints, brochures, prospectuses and catalogs. We are currently testing small “Ecobelles” boxes in our offices; we hope the test is successful so we can extend it to all departments. A collection frequency that is suitable for our company’s needs to supply the French paper recycling industry.
