Across Europe, European Sustainable Development Week (ESDW) is a time to raise awareness and encourage practical action around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)The 17 goals adopted by the United Nations to guide global action to 2030 on economic, social and environmental issues..
For European industry, it highlights major challenges such as climate action, energy efficiencyEnergy efficiencyThe ability to deliver the same level of service or production while using less energy, particularly through improvements in equipment, processes or operational control., responsible use of resources, circular economyCircular economyA model aimed at keeping the value of products, equipment, materials and resources in use for as long as possible through durability, maintenance, repair, reuse and recycling., working conditions and sustainable supply chains.
Why it matters to Matissart
For Matissart, sustainable development translates into practical industrial choices throughout the lifecycle of an extrusion blow mould: Design → Manufacture → Maintain → Repair → Refurbish → Adapt → ReuseReuseUsing a product or piece of equipment again for the same purpose or a compatible purpose, without it having become waste and without major material transformation. → Recover
Extending mould service life, optimising the use of materials and energy, improving manufacturing processes and promoting the recovery of metals at end of life are all part of this approach.
For Matissart, ESDW is an opportunity to reaffirm a simple principle: combine industrial performance, innovation and responsible use of resources to contribute to a more sustainable European industry.
