In Fxsanmartí, our fight against the carbon footprint is not limited to a statement of intent, but is a reality that drives our decisions and our way of doing things. We firmly believe that a responsible industry should minimize its environmental impact, and that is why we are acting on two key fronts: energy efficiency and circular resource management.
The pillars of our fight against carbon footprint: clean energy and sustainable production
Clean energy from our roof: a leap towards self-sufficiency
One of our greatest sources of pride is the photovoltaic installation covering our cardboard box factory. At the end of March 2022, we took a strategic step by bringing 182 solar panels into operation, with a total capacity of 100 kW. Our aim was not only to reduce our electricity bill: we designed the installation to maximize production throughout the day, with panels facing east, south and west, and specific angles to make the most of the sun in both summer and winter.
Thanks to this investment, our corrugated cardboard factory is self-sufficient energy and contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. With a system of compensation of surpluses, even when the factory is closed (weekends or holidays), our solar production is poured into the network, multiplying our positive impact. The entire system is monitored in real time, ensuring maximum performance.
Our factory of cardboard boxes becomes a clean energy producer during periods of inactivity.
Beyond energy: a 360° vision of sustainability
But our engagement doesn't end on the roof. Being sustainable means optimizing each stage of production:
-
Applied circular economy
We measure and reduce emissions in all processes. We implement systems to recycle 100% of our cardboard waste, reintroducing it into the production cycle. -
Clean production
We use eco-friendly inks and low impact printing processes, ensuring that the packaging you create for your products is as responsible as ours. -
Total transparency
All our certificates of quality and environmental management (ISO, FSC, etc.) are published on our website for consultation.
For us, sustainability is not an addition, it is the basis of how we manufacture since 1925 and the way to continue offering competitive, innovative and respectful cardboard boxes with the future of the planet.
