ACTEGA announces that the company has achieved a number of significant targets. These are part of the company's plans to continue its progress in the area of sustainability. The existing plan includes a commitment to product development aimed at expanding the range of sustainable solutions on the market.
For the company, the path to a more sustainable future includes reducing CO2 emissions in manufacturing processes by 80 per cent, water consumption by 50 per cent and waste disposal by 45 per cent. In 2020, more than 20 per cent of ACTEGA's sales generated with sustainable product solutions. Of all new product developments currently in progress, 60 per cent are designed with the aim of „improving sustainability“ as a key feature or unique selling point (USP).
„As 10 per cent of sales are channelled back into research and development, sustainable criteria are an integral part of our stage-gate-based project management. This innovation and strategy is implemented by 10 ACTEGA research laboratories with around 80 employees worldwide. With this concentrated load of expertise and ingenuity, we are able to make great leaps forward and offer a product portfolio that focuses on sustainable benefits in addition to the usual performance and quality benefits you can expect from ACTEGA.“
Benjamin Lux, Chief Technology Officer at ACTEGA
ACTEGA's commitment to making progress in sustainable coating, ink and other product solutions, together with its action plan, supports the achievement of numerous environmental performance indicators. This includes the vision of the parent company ALTANA to achieve Climate-neutral throughout the company by 2025 to be.
„Innovation and sustainability are the company's fundamental value proposition, and our holistic, all-encompassing approach to sustainability comes from the top of the organisation. This gives us the passion, commitment and financial backing to help shape the future of the industry. Our goal is to continue to develop solutions that deliver exceptional performance and improved recyclability throughout the packaging and print supply chain, meeting the demands and challenges that brands are facing today and driving the industry forward.“
