Pantarei cares about environmental respect. Our products are the result of a development and innovation process that, thanks to certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC® management systems, attests to continuous improvement in terms of quality and sustainability. The 3,475 square meters of photovoltaic system installed at the main company headquarters in 2022 produced 424,102 kWh from renewable energy, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the air.
In 2023, we increased the existing photovoltaic capacity by installing an additional 650 kW of panels to meet the energy needs required for the production cycle in an increasingly sustainable manner.
We have an internal system that monitors instantaneous consumption and the power required for production. Additionally, we have appointed an ENERGY MANAGER to promote targeted interventions for improving energy efficiency. In 2022, these efforts resulted in a reduction in consumption of approximately 4.89% compared to the previous year. 80% of the wood-based raw materials we use come from certified forests or controlled recycling (FSC® C138106). Thanks to the Chain of Custody certification, we can ensure the origin of the wood or paper used in our products, thereby demonstrating transparent and controlled contribution to responsible forest management.
The production waste is utilized to fuel a heat recovery system from the combustion of non-hazardous wood waste. This is employed to ensure the production process for edge gluing during the winter. In 2022, we recovered 781 tons of sawdust for internal heat production.
