Labrenta goes green

The climate change, the air pollution, the waste issue, are just a few of the problems which strain our planet and for whom we have to find alternative and efficient solutions.

Born as a company which uses raw material as cork is, Labrenta knows how the environment respect is important and is aware of its commitment to the earth.

That is why in 2010 the Greencork project is born, to transform this awareness into actions with the aim of starting a steps approach which guides our strategy.

We have a green soul which we will continue to feed thanks to our innovations and to the commitments we assumed towards the earth's safeguard.

2010: Greencorks

In collaboration with the architecture studio MCA & Partners, a line of furnishing made entirely with recycled cork closures is born. Aesthetic and environmental quality make the Greencorks collection unique in the eco-design panorama.

2011: The carbon footprint

In partnership with the Politecnico of Milan a study is been conducted to determine the greenhouse gas emissions of a synthetic cap and a cork one. Thanks to this study Labrenta is today able to propose, on request, specific products with Co2 emissions compensated.

2012: The photovoltaic system

The installation of a photovoltaic system of 100 kilowatt contributes for the 30% to the company's electricity daytime needs. This energy is produced in a clean and renewable way, so an effectively electric production. This is one of the best eco-friendly system of energetic production because the energy produced doesn't cause pollution.

2013: The reuse

Improvement actions within the company have led to recycling a percentage of the 99,8 of the process waste, through their continuous reintroduction into the production cycle.

2014: Moulding plants

The purchase of new plants and the replacement of the obsolete ones, allowed us to move from oledynamic plants to full electric ones, achieving an energy save of the 40% thanks to a less consumption as well as a better movements precision for a better production cycle.

2015: NGS Bio

We realized the first T-shape completely bio-degradable and compostable, made with an innovative material composed of natural origin substances and assembled thanks to the ultrasound technology that we call NGS- No Glue System. A closure that at the end of its life cycle will be nature again.

2016: IED lightning

The change of our lighting system carries with it good advantages: energy save, less heat dispersion, low power operation and better lifespan.

2017: Packaging Revolution

The change of the packaging used to send our products has allowed us not only to optimize shipments but above all to save the material utilized in the composition of the same.

2018: FSC® Certification

We achieved the FSC® Certification, to guarantee part of our wooden products' provenance, wood that comes from forests managed in a correct and responsible way, according to rigorous environmental, social and economic standard, which are established and approved by the Forest Stewardship Council.
