Sustainability


Dear Stakeholders,

Meltex’s Sustainability Report highlights the key aspects of our operations related to sustainable and responsible business practices.

We have made significant investments in the safety, training, and well-being of our employees. In terms of environmental matters, we have increased recycling, improved the energy efficiency of our processes, and reduced waste. As a manufacturer of plastic products, we recognize our responsibility in advancing plastic recycling throughout society.

As a major consumer of electricity, we have used only climate-neutral electricity for several years. We strive to minimize emissions from the transportation of our products by ensuring production is located close to the markets.

Transparency and openness in our operations are important to us.

We aim to be a reliable and responsible partner to all our stakeholders and to collaborate in creating a sustainable future.

I would like to thank all MELTEX employees and our stakeholders for their support and cooperation in our sustainability efforts.

Together, we can make the world a better place for everyone.
