Radici gains ‘important’ environmental certificate

20/02/2014
Nylon 6,6 supplier RadiciGroup has obtained the UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 environmental certification for its production site Radici Fil, a process which took two years to complete and which it describes as “an important step”.

Stefano Loro, managing director of Radici Fil, said: “Although the implementation of an eco-management model is first and foremost a social duty, it is much more than that. I am convinced that it is an important factor that differentiates us in our target market, a factor that really increases the value added of our company and our products.”

In the three-year period 2010-2012, the company was able to reduce the quantity of water per ton of product by about 21%, by improving its production processes and water recycling systems. In 2012, RadiciGroup as a whole achieved a water recycling and reuse rate of 91% at its companies.

“Our next step is going to be certification to ISO 50001, an energy management system standard that we intend to adopt to improve and optimise our performance in terms of energy efficiency,” added Mr Loro.
