SPEA and the envitonment - energy efficiency

Energy Efficiency

 

SPEA is seriously committed to enhancing the energy efficiency of our facilities and is continuing to do so, by identifying improvements and environmental sustainability measures.

Water and energy consumptions are continuously monitored by the Environmental Management System with the aim of reducing waste and optimizing consumptions.

SPEA is constantly training its staff on new applicable environmental regulations and on the correct practices for reducing the energy consumption.

Staff trainings on environmental sustainability have also brought to the decrease of water consumption per capita.

Waste Management

 

From 2009 and onwards, the proportion of recycled waste has more than doubled. This is due to numerous activities undertaken to educate the staff, together with the selection of eco-friendly materials.

Great attention is paid to the disposal of dangerous substances and to correct separation of mixed packaging. We have also eliminated any toxic substance: none of our products contains lead, Rare Earth Materials, PVC, deca BDE, mercury or arsenic.
