EMI obtains its certificate of compliance with the GPI decree

Every year in Europe, more than 41,000 tonnes of industrial plastics in granulated form end up in the environment and in the oceans.

As a player in the plastics industry, we have taken various initiatives to protect the environment:

• Formalisation, standardisation and verification of practices: cleaning line vacuum, 5S audit, emergency procedure in the event of dispersion, etc.
• Installation of appropriate equipment: retention tanks, anti-pollution filters, etc.
• Raising awareness among staff and our service providers: ecogestures, posters in identified areas, etc.

The actions we are implementing are in line with our Quality - Safety - Environment policy and also have the advantage of reducing the risks of falls and keeping the premises clean.

Thanks to the deployment of these operations, we have obtained a certificate of compliance with Decree 2021-461 of 16 April 2021 for compliance with provisions relating to the prevention of losses of industrial plastic granules into the environment.
