Investments made into facilities designed to promoteenergy saving and reduce the emissions of carbon dioxideinto the atmosphere act as testimony to the company’sstrong commitment to reducing impact on the environment

PROJECT 23

The installation of solar panels on the entire roofing of the Covo plant constitutes a photovoltaic system of considerable

dimensions which enables a significant reduction of CO2.

The energy produced represents 30% of its needs.A company totem visible from the road shows these values.

Nastrotex-Cufra uses, for the production of some of its tapes, yarns made from recycled bottles.The yarn derives entirely from post-consumer recycled material through a mechanical process that involves no chemicals, certified 100% Made in Italy throughout the supply chain.
