Sustainability

We all need to play our part in reducing our carbon footprint and impact on the planet.

At Gekatex Group we take our commitment to protecting the environment seriously.

We always look to the future – and we have made it our mission to ensure that our Environmental Strategy (R3) is an integral part of our business – REDUCE, REUSE, RETHINK

Reduce

  • 6 tons of production waste already saved. Roadmap 2025, 20 Tons (5% more efficient)
  • 30% Reduction of our Scope 1 & 2 carbon footprint by 2025, 60% 2040
  • Optimisation of wipe sizes, saturation & packaging to reduce waste and improve process

Rethink

  • Adjunction of recycled or low impact fibers into our products (Recycled Polymers, Lenzing fibers, PEFC Pulp)
  • 100% of our cardboard packaging’s PEFC by 2025
  • Use of regenerated & plant waste-based solvents for our pre-saturated wipes
  • Already 100% renewable electricity to power up our French factory
rethink

Our joint venture in China has achieved ISO 14001 certification – the global standard for environmental management, thanks to the plant being powered by 100% renewable energy and features an in-house water processing facility.

This set up allows us to have reliable electricity and water throughout the year for constant, sustainable and consistent manufacturing output.

We take our commitment to protecting the environment seriously.
