CSR sustainable development

Striving for sustainable development

CELLFAST sp. z o.o. is a company in which social responsibility business plays a fundamental role and is its core value.

All activities aimed at the company’s development are strongly linked to issues of sustainability in the directions of reducing the negative impact on the environment and continuously increasing the positive impact on the local community, customers, contractors and employees of the company.

For this reason, CELLFAST undertakes and pursues successive objectives in the various areas of activity, guided by the obligations arising from the implemented ISO standards for quality and the environment, respect for human rights and in accordance with the principles of ethical policy

The organisation’s carbon footprint

The main target for 2023 is to calculate the company’s carbon footprint in SCOPE 1 and SCOPE 2

To this end, a team has been set up to:

setting the boundaries of the organisation
inventory of emitters
collection of data
calculation and calculation of specific emission factors for the organisation

A methodology in line with GHG PROTOCOL was chosen as the calculation procedure.

Recycling content

In 2022, we used approximately 5,345,000 kg of recycled materials.

The associated saving on CO2 emissions is approximately 5 050 000 kg CO2eq estimated on the recycled content of the base polymers.

In 2022, we launched the GROW™ water systems product line containing recycled materials.

Energy saving photovoltaics

In 2022, investments were made for 2 pilot photovoltaic installations on 2 sites: 50kWp and 100kWp.

In 2023 we plan to realise:

By mid 2023, 2 more pilot installations on 2 sites
By the end of 2023 – expansion of all existing pilot plants to a total capacity of approximately 3200 kWp

The current stations have produced 3.38 MWh, saving 1.6 tonnes of CO2eq (data from the PV installation app)

Energy saving other investments

Further energy-saving investments are being introduced in the operations of individual locations:

Planned for 2023:

heat exchanger using heat from chillers cooling process water for heating sanitary water and office space (1 location)
Replacement of fluorescent lamps with LED – Completion of the investment (1 location)
heat pump for pre-cooling of process water (1 location)

2022 realised:

replacing fluorescent lamps with LEDs
individual workstations in the assembly and packaging area have their own individual light switches, thus saving energy on the central lighting of the entire production area.
motion detector-activated stairwell lighting
installations using the heat from the cooling of the extruder heads to heat the raw materials in the hoppers
heat exchanger that uses the heat from the chillers cooling the process water to heat the sanitary water and office space
time switches for battery chargers for electric forklift trucks (avoiding current consumption in STAND-BY after battery charging – such consumption can amount to 100W/1h)

Health and safety at work

A friendly and safe workplace is our priority.

Invariably – our goal is 0 accidents at work.

This is realised through implemented health and safety measures including:

a system of procedures for maintaining health and safety at work
