Sustainability at GMP and PlasTec: a green vision in action
At GMP and PlasTec we take our responsibility for the environment very seriously. As leading specialists in plastic profiles, we aim to minimise our impact on the planet while offering innovative, sustainable solutions. Here are some of the main ways in which we integrate sustainability into all our business processes:
100% recyclable products
Every product we manufacture at GMP and PlasTec is designed with sustainability in mind. We make sure that all our plastic profiles are fully recyclable at the end of their service life. This not only helps reduce waste, it also supports the circular economy by bringing materials back into the production cycle.
Investing in solar energy
We have installed more than 4,000 solar panels, allowing us to generate a significant part of our energy needs ourselves. This investment reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and lowers our operating costs, while shrinking our ecological footprint. The use of solar energy shows our commitment to clean, renewable energy sources.

Closed water circuits
The cooling process in our production facilities uses a closed water circuit. This means that the same water is used repeatedly to cool the plastic profiles, which drastically reduces water consumption. By optimising water use, we not only avoid waste, we also limit the impact on local water sources.
Our vision for the future
These initiatives are only part of our broader strategy to advance sustainability. We continue to look for ways to make our production processes even more sustainable and to minimise our impact on the environment. By embracing innovative technologies and sustainable practices, we aim to be an industry leader in environmentally friendly production.
At GMP and PlasTec we believe that sustainability and business success go hand in hand. Our commitment to the environment not only improves our operational efficiency, it also strengthens our image as a responsible company that appeals to customers, investors and talented employees who share our values.
