Our certifications
Automated recycling system
Our investment in a custom-designed automated sorting system is a testament to our commitment to efficiency and sustainability. This system allows us to separate the different types of cardboard from production and recycle them in their entirety, optimizing our recycling process. The efficiency of this system is evident in the significant reduction of 960 tonnes of CO2 emissions, equivalent to what would be produced if all our cardboard offcuts were sent to landfill. With this system in place, we can all be confident in our ability to operate in an environmentally responsible manner.
Raw materials
In line with Proposition 65, Produlith uses water-based inks free from heavy metals and benzodiazepines. This approach reduces environmental impact while providing a healthier working environment for employees. Produlith also responds to customer needs by offering a range of varnishes, including water-based and UV varnish options, ensuring high-quality finishes tailored to each project. Several types of cardboard are also available, in compliance with FSC® and SFI® environmental certifications.
FAQ
1. What types of environmental certification do you hold?
At Produlith, we hold three environmental certifications: FSC® , SFI and PEFC® . FSC® (Forestry Stewardship Council) certification ensures that the production of wood or a wood-based product has respected sustainable forest management principles. SFI® (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certification indicates that wood and paper products come from sustainably managed forests, as an independent certification audit attests. PEFC® (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certification is based on applying specifications relating to sustainable forest management and establishing a chain of custody for certified products from the forest to the finished product.

In 2015, Produlith renewed all its lighting to incorporate LED lights to improve the energy efficiency of its facilities and reduce electricity consumption. In addition, Produlith is striving to achieve targets based on the results of its annual carbon footprint. This approach allows the implementation of concrete measures to reduce the company’s carbon footprint and reinforce its environmental transparency
