Our actions and commitments

An environmental
action plan

Which demonstrates our concrete commitment to reducing greenhouse gases and our footprint on natural resources.

Schéma circulaire

Reduction of the footprint on
natural resources

We are committed to using certified fibers and increasing
the share of recycled materials in our products.
This helps conserve natural resources and reduce
dependence on virgin raw materials.

Use of carbon-free energy

By using energy sources with the lowest possible carbon content,
we thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with production.

Reduce our water consumption

By improving our production methods, we have reduced
our water consumption by 70% between 2013 and 2020.
By reactivating a dam which now offers us
a reserve of 55,000 m³ of water,
41% of our water consumption now comes from rainwater.

Process improvement

By making production processes less energy-intensive,
we reduce our overall energy footprint,
thus contributing to better energy efficiency Made in France.

Optimization of product weight
and quantities of materials used

By adjusting the weight without compromising the qualities
wiping and absorption, we offer products
efficient while minimizing the use of materials.

Size optimization
formats and packaging

By adjusting the size of the products, we reduce
waste and improve the efficiency of the materials used.

Eco-designed distribution systems

By adjusting the size of the products, we reduce
waste and improve the efficiency of the materials used.

Establishment of a circularity service

By developing a service that allows used hand towels to be reused,
the “Renovelar Tissue Circle”, we transform waste
in resources and promoting a circular economy.

#1: Reduction of the footprint on natural resources

By making production processes less energy-intensive, we reduce our overall energy footprint, thus contributing to better energy efficiency Made in France.

By adjusting the weight without compromising wiping and absorption qualities, we offer high-performance products while minimizing the use of materials.

By adjusting product sizes, we reduce waste and improve the efficiency of materials used.

guaranteeing hygiene and limiting consumption.

By developing a service that allows used hand towels to be reused, the “Renovelar Tissue Circle”, we are transforming waste into resources and promoting a circular economy.

Aim for carbon neutrality
by 2050

The transition towards the decarbonization of our products and our processes is not only an environmental necessity: it is also an imminent legal and economic obligation.

This is why we conducted a complete audit of our carbon footprint, covering all our activities and products, with a clear objective: to gradually reduce the environmental impact of our production to achieve neutrality carbon by 2050.

Conduct a responsible purchasing policy

Because we know that our impact in terms of social and environmental responsibility does not depend only on our own activities, we make a point of conducting a policy of responsible and ethical purchasing, which everyone of our suppliers signs and undertakes to respect.

We are therefore constantly refining our selection criteria, to ensure that our partners respect human rights and the environment, in particular by evaluating the security of their processes and the third-party certifications they have.

The key figure
10%

of our packaging is recycled using recycled cardboard.
vs. 25% in 2023

The key figure
40 000 T

With this process we recycle up to 40,000 tonnes of used hand towels per year.

Promote the material flows of our industry

To control the environmental impact of our industrial activities, we believe it is essential to control and optimize the material flows they generate. Considering that waste = a resource, we have notably developed a virtuous principle of circular economy and have made recycling and the short circuit pillars of our approach.

Optimize resource management

Because they are valuable resources for our activities, we have made water and energy management a strategic priority. To do this, we have notably invested in technologies and practices improving the energy efficiency of our operations (such as the electric hoods of our paper machine), but also reactivated a dam allowing us to reuse the rainwater and installed a water cooling system, guaranteeing the discharge of high quality treated water into the river.

Through these actions, we contribute in a concrete way to the fight against global warming and position ourselves as a European leader regarding the carbon impact of our products.

The key figures
-50%

In 10 years, we have reduced our annual water consumption by -50%.

-30%

On average, our products generate -30% CO2 per leaf
Vs the rest of European manufacturers.
