Lauréats du prix mondial de développement durable Michael J. Gasser 2023
Our PPS Riverville Facility and CorrChoice were celebrated as our 2023 Michael J. Gasser Global Sustainability Award recipients. PPS Riverville Facility’s was recognized for their collaborative efforts with regulatory bodies on permit improvement, enabling the mill to repurpose rejects as fuel, resulting in a 10 percent reduction in landfill waste compared to the baseline and an estimated cost savings of $120K. CorrChoice implemented energy efficiency initiatives, resulting in nearly $500K in savings and reductions of 3 percent in electricity use and 13 percent in natural gas consumption, propelling them to this award. The initiatives also represent a fully scalable and replicable approach applicable across global facilities.
Lauréats du prix mondial de développement durable Michael J. Gasser 2022
- Région GIP LATAM: The Région GIP LATAM completed five impactful projects in 2022 that demonstrate the integration of sustainability into their business success.
- Tigre d'Amérique latine completed a project to evaluate all Latin American plants to implement a 6 percent reduction in energy consumption per unit produced compared to the fiscal year 2019 by 2025. The project identified 447 energy focus areas and are now focused on implementing 70 LATAM strategic energy project.
- Amérique latine Brésil Réduction des émissions de carbone et de l'utilisation de matières premières grâce à la production de sacs en plastique avec la composition 10% PCR. L'utilisation de PCR n'a aucun impact sur les performances des sacs en plastique.
- GIP LATAM BrésilUn projet d'innovation visant à réduire le poids des fûts en acier a été créé pour réduire l'épaisseur des fûts en acier sans affecter les performances mécaniques. L'équipe a ainsi développé un emballage en acier plus léger et plus performant qui réduit les émissions de CO2 jusqu'à 12%.
- GIP LATAM Brésil Nous avons également réalisé un projet qui élimine le besoin de film étirable sans affecter les performances de palettisation des fûts. Le Drumclip est utilisé pour maintenir et fixer les fûts sur des palettes afin de transporter en toute sécurité nos produits sous film étirable.
- GIP Amérique latine Colombie developed a 20L jerrycan composed of 100 percent PCR resin. This is the first 100 percent PCR packaging product that meets the quality and performance needs of the lubricants and sanitizing market.
- Groupe de fibres récupérées PPS et usine d'AustellL’équipe a identifié plusieurs autres industries qui peuvent utiliser les sous-produits des usines grâce à des applications à haute valeur ajoutée et de réutilisation qui soutiennent notre stratégie de circularité. Le projet réduit notre empreinte carbone, la quantité de déchets que nous envoyons à la décharge et les coûts d’élimination de ces déchets.
- Groupe de produits industriels PPSDans le cadre de notre stratégie de circularité, notre usine de Kernersville Adhesive renvoie ses IBC usagés pour qu'ils soient nettoyés et réutilisés. L'un des principaux adhésifs coagule avec d'autres adhésifs lorsqu'il est envoyé dans les égouts de la ville en raison de son niveau de pH. Pour garantir que les conduites d'égout de la ville ne soient pas obstruées, l'usine ne peut pas s'écouler dans les conduites d'égout lors du nettoyage de ces IBC. Au lieu de cela, l'usine a envoyé les déchets d'adhésif et l'eau de lavage dans une décharge pour une élimination sûre. En 2022, l'équipe a commencé un processus de nettoyage plus efficace, recyclant et réutilisant l'adhésif et l'eau de lavage en interne. Elle a également mis en place un système de neutralisation du pH afin que l'IBC puisse recycler son métal et son plastique en utilisant le processus de fin de vie standard.
